Plot

Barbara Novak (Zellweger) is a writer who has acquired fame and success with her last book, 'Down with love', which has become feminist ensign and an example for deal with men that prosecute women around the world. However, there is journalist from a gentleman magazine, Catcher Block (McGregor), plans to unmask her and prove that she deeply wants the same like many other women: marriage and be loved. For that purpose, he will pretend to be a shiny spaceman called Zip Martin to break her heart.

Directed by Peyon Reed ('Bring it on'), 'Down with love' is a romantic comedy set in the 60s that pays tribute to romantic comedies from Rock Hudson and Doris Day like 'Lover Come Back' and 'Pillow Talk'.

Trivia

No, but yes

Vikki (Sarah Paulson) suspects Peter (David Hyde Pierce) is gay. Although he isn't, in just a few short years, both Hyde Pierce and Paulson came out as homosexual.

Cut out for them

Everything the characters wore, literally from head to feet, was custom-made for them.

Beautiful tribute

The spilt-screen telephone calls scenes are direct homages to 1950s/'60s screwball comedies, Pillow Talk, in particular.
