The
golden age of the classic Rock Hudson-Doris Day sex
comedies - albeit with an edgy, retro-cool twist
is recreated in this "post-modern" sex comedy
from "American Beauty" producers Bruce Cohen
and Dan Jinks and "Bring It On" director Peyton
Reed. DOWN WITH LOVE is set in the early 1960s, and
every frame pops with the super-saturated palette of
60s Technicolor. Process shots, stock shots, backlot-fake
NYC street scenes, snazzy apartments, and elegant supper
clubs are the backdrop for DOWN WITH LOVE's characters,
including Zellweger's best-selling advice author and
McGregor's hotshot journalist/playboy. |

Doris
and Rock were wonderful in those Pillow Talk movies.
And while it's probably too much to ask this totally
hetro couple to match their chemistry, I would be very
surprised if the delightful Renee and the multi-talented
Ewan don't sizzle together. |
