As pink and silly as they come, but "Down with Love" is a fun romp - napierslogs
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.

I personally absolutely adore this movie. The costumes are bright and colorful, just like the actors, who are charming and loveable. Renee plays the author of a book called "Down With Love" which essentially becomes the most popular book all around the world. Ewan plays the pimp of the 60s, the ladies' man, who is your typical man. Renee takes away Ewan's status with her book, and Ewan tries to bring her down by making her fall in love with him. The end has an unexpected twist (poorly developed, but nevertheless, unexpected) which makes it a relief from your typical romantic comedies.
Watch this movie if you're in the mood for a cute romantic comedy.Campy fun - Filmgal
Down With Love is one of those movies that isn't meant to be taken serious because it's not even taking itself seriously. Filmed in the style of the Rock Hudson-Doris Day films, it's full of camp humour. McGregor suits his character well and because of his charm as a performer, you care about his character in the film. David Hyde Pearce and Molly Shannon are where the real laughs are. Older fans should get a kick out of this film.
