A Puzzling Movie

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!!!

Superb art direction

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.

The animation at the intro is just superb, it makes me want to create a 'movie introduction appreciation group' just to feature this and Shortbus.

If I recall it correctly, for some reasons, I actually saw this movie with my wife in the movie theater when it was released. To be honest, it was a rather odd choice since it seemed to rather cheesy but, I have to admit it, I always had a weak spot for romantic-comedies and I probably thought that it would be some decent material for a romantic date.

Barbara Novak has just come down from Maine to New York after writing a book called Down With Love. The book instructs women to have sex the way a man does, and to detach oneself from love completely. Catcher Block is a successful journalist tapped to write a cover story on Novak. He blows her off at every opportunity to cuddle with flight attendants. However, when Novak's book is a complete success, Catcher finds himself being blown off by her! So he starts to write an expose and disguises himself as a naive astronaut named Zip Martin. But he can't imagine what happens next!

Pop Culture Phenomenon Films: 00’s (415 movies items)

" Down with Love is a 2003 romantic comedy film directed by Peyton Reed. It stars Renée Zellweger and Ewan McGregor and is a pastiche of the early-1960s American "no-sex sex comedies", such as Pillow Talk and Lover Come Back (both starring Rock Hudson, Doris Day, and Tony Randall) and the "myriad spawn" of derivative films that followed; Time film critic Richard Corliss wrote that Down with Love "is so clogged with specific references to a half-dozen Rock-and-Doris-type comedies that it serve"
