Down with This Movie! A Bit.

Flamboyant war of sexes between a journalist and a feminist writer in New York City in the early Sixties. Mildly entertaining. Ewan McGregor and Renée Zellwegerbut are skilled actors and easy on the eye. Some extravagant hats and colorful dresses are worth mentioning! But this romantic comedy never really takes off.

I went into this campy send-up of the bubbly romantic comedy classics of the 1950's and 60's expecting to hate it. Instead, I came out slightly puzzled. It's not funny enough to be a parody. It's not heartfelt enough to be a tribute. So what is it?? I have no clue, but I like it!!!

Regardless of how simple the premise of this film is, it's so consistently well done that it deserves recognition. Like admitting to listening to Prince and/or Michael Jackson, I'm happy to admit that I thoroughly enjoyed this film.

“Flamboyant war of sexes between a journalist and a feminist writer in New York City in the early Sixties. Mildly entertaining. Ewan McGregor and Renée Zellwegerbut are skilled actors and easy on the eye. Some extravagant hats and colorful dresses are worth mentioning! But this romantic comedy never really takes off. Too many tricky twists and turns for my taste. Not really funny, neither romantic, and the message about women's emancipation is bland. Watch it if you don't have anything else to do.” read more

"Watched 11/19/12 Placeholder for the Hallmark Channel movie, "What I Did For Love." Score: 4/10. This movie was just so incredibly predictable and cliche, I get a little angry just thinking about it."

After all our tricking each other and our game playing, I'm the one with the love letter and you're the one with the scoop. Still, I'll keep my eyes on the billboards."
