What Parents Need to Know
About Down with Love
Parents need to know that this movie has a good deal of sexual innuendo and double entendres, including an extended split-screen sequence that makes it appear that the characters are engaging in a number of sexual acts. There is brief strong language. Characters drink and smoke as evidence of sophistication. Equality of women is a humorous theme of the movie. As in the 1960s movies it salutes, all characters are white.

a wonderful diversion
Enter Review Here This is a bit sophisticated for young people. The twists and turns in the pivotal scene will take explaning to those under 15 but this still had plenty of humor and charm to entertain even a twelve year old.

One of the best movies I've seen this year
This movie at first seems like one of those movies that have the same plot every time. But after the few first minutes it really pulls you in and you can't stop laughing! I didn't really like Renee Zellweger in Chicago but in this movie she was most excellent and funny . Her character Barbara is a young woman from Maine that writes a book about how women don't need love, instead, they can eat chocolate. Her world changes when she meets Catcher Block.You think that you know what is going to happen but then it takes a twisted turn ( all for the better of course!). Down with Love is a perfect replica of all the 60's romantic comedies, and it has all the clothes and gadgets too.

Down with love
I walked out of this movie due to the sexual split screen effects that indicated alot more than was expected. This was gross over kill as to positions on the split screen. I wasted 10 dollars to see a movie that was suppose to be like a Doris Day-Rock Hudson movie and made a mockery of those movies. Thanks for your website I can now voice my opinion.

One scene ruins it for the kids
The split-screen phone scene which could have been a wonderful send up of such scenes from movies of the Doris Day era seemed as though it had been handled by the Farrelly (sp?) Brothers. I was planning on taking my daughter to see the movie until that scene came on. Fabulous movie, dumb scene.
