Critics' Reviews

88
Philadelphia Inquirer: Carrie Rickey
A postfeminist valentine to the Paleolithic days of Woman Power when dinosaurs walked Manhattan in heels with matching handbags.Read Full Review »
75
Boston Globe: Ty Burr
This is all far beyond silly, of course - the most inconsequential sort of winking, meta-movie in-joke.Read Full Review »
75
CHICAGO SUN-TIMES: Roger Ebert
No better or worse than the movies that inspired it, but that is a compliment, I think.Read Full Review »
75
ReelViews: James Berardinelli
Light, funny, and clever.Read Full Review »

ENTERTAINMENT WEEKLY: Owen Gleiberman
Could have used more of the shimmering elegance of the Day-Hudson comedies. Those movies had a true sparkle. This one's a likable piece of costume jewelry.Read Full Review »
70
The New York Times: Dana Stevens
Works hard to earn it and is, for the most part, intelligent and amusing, even if it never achieves the full-tilt zany desperation of Delbert Mann's "Lover Come Back," the best of the real Hudson-Day movies.Read Full Review »
63
USA Today: Claudia Puig
Dragging on too long is a more serious flaw in a romantic comedy than it might be in a complex drama. We don't ask much of a movie like this, but we do require it to be snappy, clever and quick.Read Full Review »

Village Voice: Laura Sinagra
Unfortunately, during the inevitable "what every woman wants" breakdown, Zellweger can't muster Doris Day's detached fume.Read Full Review »
60
Washington Post: Stephen Hunter
It's like a "Saturday Night Live" sketch on a $60 million budget.Read Full Review »
50
Salon.com: Stephanie Zacharek
The fatal flaw of Down With Love... is that in mining what's kitschily amusing about those movies, it also re-creates far too faithfully everything that's unbearable about them.Read Full Review »
