Do diabła z miłością

A stylised comedy gently parodying the classics of the "Golden Age of Hollywood", with decent dialogues, and though it loses pace here and there, that flowing duo makes up for it. And that's about it, that's all it offers, but qualitatively it's enough for excellent romantic entertainment. (06.02.2005)

This comedy/parody/tribute is (along with the Austin Powers films) one of the most charmingly stylized films I've seen in years. From the opening logos of 20th Century Fox and CinemaScope, to the animated credits, the exuberant Renée Zellweger and Ewan McGregor, the colorful costumes and color-coordinated sets, the music that plays almost all the time and complements the action in the film exactly the way it used to be done, little things like the use of rear projections during car rides, the huge windows of the hotel rooms and the obviously painted New York behind them, to a really beautifully wacky script full of lots of wacky characters and gags and a final twist or musical numbers... Everything is so stylish and the atmosphere of those (mostly) black-and-white lemonade romances oozes so much from everything that it's simply irresistible and lovers of the genre (by which I don't mean contemporary romantic comedies) shouldn't hesitate for even a second.

Nice retro with a seductive Ewan McGregor and a beautiful Renée Zellweger. Although I hardly laughed, it's entertaining enough and the final twist is very commendable. Fine stuff. 65% (07.03.2018)

Down with Love parodies both the golden 60s and the film production of major American studios from that era. Additionally, it mocks fashionable feminism and the gender movement. There was certainly more potential in this material, but the film doesn't rank among the top, yet its pleasant and functional cast makes it an attractive spectacle. Renée Zellweger and Ewan McGregor simply belong to the top, and it shows. Overall impression: 70%. (14.06.2006)
