I never really understood what people meant when they spoke of on screen chemistry, until I watched this movie. Freddie and Julia are cute to watch, but their coupling, was just not believable. Truth be told, I found the scenes of them kissing, almost painful to watch. It's meant to be a romance, and it looked as though he was kissing his sister.

I am a fan of Julia Stiles, and I went into this movie, thinking it would be of the same caliber as 10 Things I Hate About You, but it didn't even come close. And it all boiled down to the one thing ... no chemistry.

If you are a fan of Julie or Freddie, and just want to watch because it is a title with their name on it. Then ya, go ahead. If you are looking to feel to be griped by gut wrenching teen angst that comes with the normal boy meets girl movie, then you should pass this title completely.

"Down to You" is a film about a relationship between two college students. At first, it's magical and special but over time things begin to sour and they slowly drift apart. Is there any hope for the couple?

The writing of "Down to You" is very frustrating because it seems as if two folks wrote the film separately and then shoved them together...whether they fit or not. On one hand, you have a very sweet romance between Julia Stiles and Freddy Prinze Jr....and I liked that a lot. On the other, you have some supporting characters which don't fit the film at all and you question why Prinze's character would even associate with these jerks they call his friends. I did like Henry Winkler as Prinze's father...but the rest of the supporting cast just didn't fit in and just seemed like extras from a totally different movie...such as a raunchy comedy like "The Hangover" or "Superbad". The combination of the two just didn't work...and it's a shame, as Stiles (especially) and Prinze were essentially wasted.

I loved the relationship...it was very sweet. I also loved the asides--the times when the characters step out of the fourth wall. Brilliant and enjoyable. But the rest...just didn't fit and seemed a distraction. And, late in the film, they had one of the pair do something out of character and mean-spirited...which left me feeling annoyed. Why??!! Overall, a weird film that had great elements....as well as a lot of crap that really undid so much of the good. Frustrating and I am sure the two leads must have been frustrated as well by this...as the film really could have given a boost to their careers had the writing been consistent.
