Down with Love Reviews |
A cute enough movie which floats along with its precise 1960s set designs & costumes, a bubbly soundtrack reminiscent of actual movies from that era, as well as a number of fun performances by its groovy cast, but nothing that particularly blew me away once I got into the whole "parody" of it all. [read review] 6/10
--'JoBlo' (JoBlo.com)
Don’t be fooled because Down With Love is less a romantic comedy than a careful study of them. It’s very funny, even sweet at times, but not a drag-my-boyfriend-to-it kinda movie, unless figuring it out afterward in the parking lot puts you in the mood. [read review] 
--Kevin Smokler (FilmCritic.com)
Those unaware that this is intended as an affectionate revival of a kind of film that hasn't been seen in more than three decades may find Down with Love to be a strange entity. At best, teenagers might see this as a kind of old-fashioned fairy tale. [read review] 
--James Berardinelli (ReelViews)
Provided you're willing to look past the film's extreme overlength, Down With Love is bubbly and fun. And it should serve as a decent introduction to past romantic comedies for a whole new generation. [read review] 
--David Nusair (Reel Film Reviews)
Smart, savvy and very, very funny, Down With Love is an expert exercise in pop cultural pastiche: an elegant, hilarious romantic comedy which mimics, then surpasses its straight-laced 60s ancestors. [read review] 
--Nev Pierce (BBC Films)
Roughly one minute into Down with Love, it becomes immediately clear that this film is going to attempt what Far From Heaven did: try to be a lost film from a bygone time, in this case 1962. [read review] 
--Dante A. Ciampaglia (MovieWeb)
The comedy flip-side to Far From Heaven, Down With Love is an absolute treat for movie-fans, with Zellweger and McGregor on top form and hilarious comic support from David Hyde Pierce. [read review] 
--Matthew Turner (ViewLondon)
Down With Love perfectly symbolizes Valentines Day, dumb, annoying and sickly sweet, without so much as a hint that emotion has more to do with love than a box of chocolates. [read review] 
--Carl Lazarevic (MovieWeb)
My guess is that either “Down With Love” will get very annoying, very fast, or it will you grow on you. I found it clever, affectionate and fun... so I guess it grew on me. [read review]
--Jamey Hughton (MovieViews)
This pitch-perfect imitation of a Rock Hudson-Doris Day nonsex comedy features Renee Zellweger, Ewan McGregor and a passel of visual delights. But why should we care? [read review]
--Stephanie Zacharek (Salon)
A one-joke film that manages to hold the interest for considerably longer than you'd probably expect. Not a great story, but extremely well made and nice to look at. [read review] 6/10
--Gary Panton (Movie Gazette)
Despite the lackluster performance of Ms. Zellweger’s, I still would recommend “Down With Love” to all. I give the film an A- for effort and an A for execution. [read review]
--Edward Havens (FilmJerk.com)
"Down With Love" is no better or worse than the movies that inspired it, but that is a compliment, I think. [read review]
--Roger Ebert (Chicago Sun-Times)
It works so hard at being so silly that silly seems smart, making Down With Love simply lovely. [read review] 71/100
--Janet Branagan (Apollo Guide)
Overall, Down With Love is a colorful treat and a fun way to spend a couple of hours. [read review] 8/10
--Nate Anderson (Movie-Vault.com)
The most sincere thing about "Down With Love" is its deep insincerity [read review]
