Down With Love

The opening introduction sort of stumbled out of the gate, but boy did it gather momentum, and put out that snazzy late-60's vibe to the whole story, and had it speeding across the finish in no time at all. It was fun, and poked and prodded at the "battle" between the sexes in terms of love, work, family. The 2 leads are engaging enough and served the story sufficiently to get across that "vibe" to make the time period seem stereotypically genuine.

The script is filled with double entendres, and it's done in a fun, playful spirit for the most part. I didn't think the film dragged at all once we get through the initial introduction for Barbara Novak (Renee Zellwegger's character).

I give it 3 stars or a grade of B.
