Down With Love

***IronParrot*** · 05-18-2003, 06:14 PM

Down With Love is a superb movie, and the best romantic comedy in ages (in a time where romantic comedies that are even watchable are a rare find). I watched it today and it just blew me away with its hilarity and sheer style. It's a parody of the early-'60s Technicolor romance flick, kind of like what The Princess Bride did to fantasy. I want to hug this movie.

Go see it. And make sure you stay through the end credits.

Full review coming soon.

Who are the actors?

***IronParrot*** · 05-19-2003, 01:21 AM

Ewan McGregor and Renee Zellweger.

And they sing.

That should be enough to convince any sane person to see the movie, lest he be a romantic-comedy-hater at all costs.

Sounds good!

As much as I am against most chick flicks, this one actually has me interested because of the retro thing. I figure my girlfriend might want to see it so I will probably end up watching it.

It's a very cute. Very well done, funny, lovable etc. I found it took itself a little too lightly, but it certainly did a great job of worshipping and poking fun of the early sixties.

i havent seen it nor do i intend to but the guy who directed it is going to direct fantastic four. i just want to know did the movie seemed like it was well directed

***IronParrot*** · 05-21-2003, 10:23 PM

Oh hell yeah. The direction and editing were impeccably precise. And you should really go see this movie.

If only someone could get Peyton Reed to do a proper version of The Avengers to make up for that travesty a few years back.

gimli7410 · 05-21-2003, 10:30 PM

yea i remember that movie. it was pretty bad wasnt it. but i never saw any of the avenger comics.

***IronParrot*** · 05-21-2003, 10:39 PM

No, it wasn't based on any comics, it was based on the '60s British TV show. Best spy show EVER. I think I'm going to watch an episode right now.

gimli7410 · 05-21-2003, 10:51 PM

well you have fun

frodosgirlfriend · 05-25-2003, 08:12 PM

***IronParrot*** · 05-26-2003, 05:04 PM

Oh, the singing part is especially cute.
