Down With Love is a satire film that good-heartedly pokes fun at those films from the 60s starring Doris Day and Rock Hudson, and it does it in the most convincing and charming way.

They way that the movie is filmed is entirely in the same way that movies were filmed just at the end of the Golden Age of Hollywood. The characters are written in that same quirky sex-crazed style and it is such innocently sinful fun. Every joke is sex related, but subtly and sophisticatedly so, so that if a child fourteen or under should watch it they wouldn't understand why the adults laugh.

Renee Zellweger fits this style of movie perfectly. She looks beautiful in the wardrobe of her character and she really brings the 60s back to life with her performance. Ewan MeGregor, I felt was a little miscast. I didn't quite believe him as the 'Playboy' but his chemistry with Zellweger brings up his performance and you have a good time watching the silliness of the past unravel before you.

I don't understand why this film didn't do well. It's good light-hearted fun, as every romantic-comedy should be, and really takes you back to a time when movies were bright and silly and lovable. I loved it and give it a 6.7/10

Meet Catcher Block (Ewan McGregor) he's a "ladies man, man's man, man about town" type of guy, and Barbara (Renée Zellweger) is more of a man's woman, all decked in pink but independent. She wrote the book on how to live life without a man. Literally.

"Down with Love" is an ode to the sex films of the 1960s. Down to the fashions, feminism, and sex talk à la "Pillow Talk"(1959). It even stars Tony Randall too. It is a gorgeous film, with a lot of pink, a sexy leading man, and a lot of sexual innuendos. But compared to the Judd Apatow sex comedies of the 2000s, this is tame. Well silly and way over-the-top, but still pretty tame.

McGregor is gorgeous as the sexy leading man and Zellweger is pink-ified as the feminist leading woman. They have their fair share of sex jokes, gender stereotypes and ruses, but it's also really funny. "Down with Love" is a fun romp through 2003 disguised as 1962.
