A.O. Scott New York Times (Top Critic)

10

Flees from anything that might involve real human emotion, or for that matter any credible human activity other than looking good.

Vanessa E. Jones Boston Globe (Top Critic)

The acting never gets muscular enough to make the audience care about what happens.

Robert Dominguez New York Daily News (Top Critic)

Relies too much on gimmicky flashbacks and the quirkiness of the movie's supporting characters to compensate for the uninteresting leads.

Tom Sime Dallas Morning News (Top Critic)

There's little chemistry between co-stars Freddie Prinze Jr. and Julia Stiles.

John Petrakis Chicago Tribune (Top Critic)

Writer/director Kris Isacsson, in his directorial debut, clearly has little confidence in the romantic 'A' story supporting his film.

Lisa Alspector Chicago Reader (Top Critic)

[A] relentlessly adolescent romantic comedy.
Full Review » 3 years ago
Brendan Kelly Variety (Top Critic)

It's all reasonably pleasant to watch, but Isacsson doesn't seem to know what to do with the story once Al and Imogen fall in love.

Robert Horton Film.com (Top Critic)

Doesn't summon up quite enough quirky personality to maintain its momentum through the final act.

Liam Lacey Globe and Mail (Top Critic)

Belongs to that other kind of American teen comedy... movies of crushes and wagers and sex jokes, with patchwork plots and a standby army of eccentric comic sidekicks.

James Berardinelli ReelViews (Top Critic)

Down to You is filled with all sorts of hokey moments that ruin its attempts to generate a pseudo-real, romantic atmosphere.

Kevin Thomas Los Angeles Times (Top Critic)

Mediocre at best.

Weak and often inappropriate romantic comedy.
Full Review » 1 year ago
Ted Murphy Hollywood.com

Both Julia Stiles and Freddie Prinze Jr. deserve better.

Time Out

Al (Prinze) and Imogen (Stiles) are 19-year-olds tackling New York college life. The course of their relationship is charted in numbing detail and interspersed with the antics of their quirky friends.

It's hard to determine exactly where I gave up on Down to You, but I'm pretty sure it was right after the opening credits.

Jamie Graham Sight and Sound

[Director Kris Isacsson] tries to bring a little enterprise to the inevitable scenes of bickering and moody silence, but by now the vitalising tactics seem out of place.

Jonathan R. Perry Tyler Morning Telegraph (Texas)

Julia Stiles is fetching, but no surprises rain on the limpid parade of familiar post-adolescent love.
Full Review » 10 years ago
James Sanford Kalamazoo Gazette

25

a mostly bitter, sometimes downright grim fairy tale in which Cinderella becomes a stoner and Prince Charming winds up getting his stomach pumped.

Michael Tunison Boxoffice Magazine

40

When the lovers finally do find a reason to fight, the film takes a turn into hand-wringing melodrama from which it never recovers.

Rich Cline Shadows on the Wall

30

The script, which simply doesn't work at all, and reduces the characters to lumpen, uninteresting blobs, despite the handsome cast.

A disappointment.

Aimless and weird- like looking at a beautiful two dimensional picture postcard - but from the edge.

Cinta con severas deficiencias y falta de ingredientes, siendo el principal de ellos la falta de corazon

Never rises above being merely skin-deep.
