| How can disturbing be a good thing? Well, watch the damn movie! (by mertensj) |
| You know, when this movie first came out, I saw it slammed by critics and the box-office as well . . . Usually not a good sign for a movie, eh? But, after just seeing it on cable I ask, why the paltry 4 stars? Have the people that voted ever BEEN in a college romance? This movie actually opened up some old wounds. It hurt, yes, and I wasn't all that happy a person after seeing it, but . . . It was very honest. I couldn't believe how honest and true this couple's problems were. In the end you have a movie with a very believable romance that also offers just the right amount of hope <more> |
| Stejam; what on earth are you on about? it is the best film ever! (by trudz900) |
| I am thirteen years old and saw the film not long ago, it has since become my favourite film. 'stejam from United Kingdom' i read your comment and i Completely disagree, how can you say that? do you know who you remind me of? Monk from the film, a pathetic man who just wants to put a dampener on other peoples happiness! i absolutely adore the film as Julia stiles and Freddie Prince Jr are my two favourite actress/actors. the perfect teen film!! i rate it 10/10 and would gladly watch it ten times over. it has such brilliant scenes especially the scene with Ashton Kutcher because it <more> |
| great movie, but not for everyone... (by thomas_k) |
| The problem with any romantic comedy is just that - it's a romantic comedy and we were all raised to believe that these are movies that you take your girlfriend to see because she won't be too interested in the latest action flick that guys might rush to see. I believe that this is a shame because people might overlook various aspects of the movie mainly the plot simply because their standards are set low to begin with.I won't tell you guys that this is not a movie that is more likely to interest girls than us though guys, but if you're even a little sensitive you can <more> |
| Julia 1 Freddie 0. (by Junior311) |
| First I'll start with the film itself, it was great. I loved the way that the characters stop and tell the story about themselves. The story is believable, how many of you cannot remember your first love and how dramatic it was. Next the acting.I thought that Julia did a great job in this movie. She played her character Imogen flawlessly. She made it believable, and she really sold the movie for me. I like the fact that she can play so many ages and make them stick, in one movie; from freshman year college, to post-college workforce stage.Freddie Prinze Jr. I guess I just don't like. <more> |
| A warm, funny love story - I really liked it (by neglas) |
| Being a guy, I think most people would expect me to dislike this movie. However I totally liked it. It is funny. Its romantic. The plot is in no way original, but was there ever a lovestory like that? I have seen this a couple of times now and I totally like it. Julia Styles is so cute. The story is told with a twinkle in the eye and shouldn't be taken too seriously. I don't understand why people hate this movie so much. Okay it's not the movie of the year, but it a nice, charming and funny little movie about love between to people. Definitely worth seeing. |
| Better than average teen romance (by Happy_Evil_Dude) |
| Alfred Freddie Prinze Jr and Imogen Julia Stiles both reflect on their past relationship their lost "first true love". This flashback style of storytelling is one of the film's strongest points as it adds a whole new depth to the story, at least in my opinion. Is this what people would call a "chick flick"? Mmmh, not really. I know a lot of guys squirm at the sound of "romantic comedy" "Me man! Me need big explosion!!!" but hopefully others don't mind them and Down To You is a pretty good film if you're looking for something sweet and <more> |
| Boy Meets Girl, Minus the Cookie Cutter Plot Twists (by offtoneverland87) |
| While certainly not a popular film from what I've read and seen, "Down to You" was definitely a pleasant, altogether refreshing take on the teen romantic comedy. No, "She's All That" it ain't...but it also doesn't follow the all-too-predictable flow of meeting the leads, meeting the conflict, anticipating the climax, whilst remaining comforted throughout by the inevitable perfect kiss at the end...naturally, accompanied by some current pop-laden tune."Down to You" makes you smile...and that's what it's meant to do. Stiles and Prinze, Jr. <more> |
| A movie for those who are big fans of these actors or just love romantic movies (by santicorv) |
| Let's be realistic no movie is perfect. This movie has i'd say a 6 star script i mean come on Freddie P. Jr's character is speaking to a spider, and also that whole bet that he could recognize love by tasting wine? but it has a 9 star performance Julia Stiles and Freddie P. are great actors . I'm a big Julia stiles fan but i think this is just a predictable romantic film with a mediocre script but i think these two actors have the ability to turn a bad movie in to a great movie just because they have such next door kind of people personalities that just makes you wanna cry <more> |
