Entertaining romantic comedy, but is doesn’t stick!
“Down to You” was slammed by critics when it was released, claiming it to be unoriginal, unfunny and really a waste of time. Pay no attention to them. It is rare for romantic comedies to be entirely original [they are after all dealing with love], but Down to You does have it’s moments differing it from most of the recently released teen comedies [to which it has constantly been compared].Through narration by both protagonists the audience is able to see the development of both characters in the long-term and how they ultimately react to each other. Freddie Prinze Jr and Julia Stiles were perfectly cast and behaved as mature young adults for the majority of the film [sparing the audience from cliched teen talk]. They leave the zaniness to their co-stars, which was a good move. The film is more of a “love story” then most recent teen flicks dealing mainly with “physical attraction” or “opposites attract”.
One problem with Down to You however is it’s not presented well enough to keep the audience interested. Perhaps in the hands of a more capable director this would be achieved, as I got a bit bored with a few of the scenes and some jokes really fall flat. Because of this, it’s not as memorable as other teen flicks such as “10 Things” or “Scream”, even.. as it’s pacing is quite slow. It’s saving grace is the cast. Henry Winkler gives a comic performance as Prinze’s celebrity-chef father and Zak Orth plays Prinze’s “friend turned porn- star-friend” with gutso. Selma Blair gave a sultry performance but lacked development making her nothing more than “the porn star girl”.
Compared to the other three major teen romance flicks of the year (Loser, Whatever it Takes, Boys and Girls) Down to You is indeed one of the finest. It just needed more “oomph” to make it more memorable.
7/10
Down and out
Stiles and Prinze fail to convince as a couple – in fact, I’m not sure they even like each other. Or maybe it’s the dodgy script they struggle with. There are some good performances here – notably from Blair, Orth, Winkler and Kutcher – but these are bit-parts. They inspired me to rate it a 2 instead of a 0. The story revolves around the romance between Prinze & Stiles which, the story implies, is one of those ‘meant-to-be’ affairs that will survive whatever. The impression I got was of two actors who were brought together against their will , probably under threat of violence against little puppy dogs. The script includes some lines that vie for title of worst-ever in a movie, which is no mean feat. The cheese is laid on with a trowel, and Prinze employs every one of his three known facial expressions in an attempt to simulate acting.If you have the choice of watching this or performing colonic irrigation on a grizzly bear with toothache, take the latter. Be grateful you had the choice, unlike the cast of this torturous excuse for a movie.
