Down With Love (2003) 8/10

Starring : Renee Zellweger, Ewan McGregor, Sarah Paulson, David Hyde Pierce, Rachel Dratch
Director : Peyton Reed
Running Time : 97 mins

Thanks to the new book sensation Down With Love by Barbara Novack (Zellweger), journalist Catcher Block (McGregor) finds that women aren’t responding to his playboy personality as well as they used to, so he sets about trying to discredit the author by pretending to be an All-American astronaut by the name of Buzz and make her fall in love with him.

I thought this movie was actually really good, and much underrated. The way in which it was filmed was a stroke of genius, and there’s some very satisfying and imaginative camera work used throughout. Also the chemistry between the main characters is flawless, even if their accents weren’t, and the 60s kitsch of the whole piece is perfect.
