Down with Love : 3 of 5
6.22.2003 5:57 PM \| Link	I think lots of people had the idea that this movie was a musical, especially with Rene coming from Chicago and Ewan showing off his voice in Moulin Rouge. There's really only one musical number, over the closing credits (and it's really good!), but the rest of the movie is pretty fun even without singing and dancing. The clothes and the sets are the real stars of the show, with all the goofy colors and gadgets everywhere, and the fact that everyone was pouring a drink every five seconds was kind of funny, too. The New York City scenes were pretty cool - kind of surreal, but still amazing! I think the acting was great comedic work, but my main problem with the movie is it doesn't end when it should - after a big climactic moment, the plot reverses and then essentially repeats the last half-hour (with the roles switched), and I think it really drags. This certainly isn't high cinema, so I can definitely say I enjoyed it and forgive it's mistakes. Labels: movies
