This film has really nothing to recommend it. It was simply another film where boy meets girl/girl meets boy, fall in love, run into difficulties - but maybe it will all come right in the end. Long before the end I really couldn't have cared less whether it did or not. I just hoped that, whatever solution was found, it would be found sooner rather than later. Life's too short to waste it on seeing the same old garbage regurgitated just one more time too many. The two central characters have appeared in this type of film on a number of occasions previously, and have done so quite successfully. They really should have known better than to try again with this waste of their time. The script was tired and the actors acted as if they knew it but couldn't be bothered to do anything about it. As for me - I couldn't be bothered either.

The previews for Down To You had me believing this was another movie where the couple gets together, falls in love, he does something stupid, and has to win her back. Instead, I got a film about a couple meeting, falling in love, and becoming so afraid of settling into domesticity that one of them DOES do something rather stupid and they must depend on time to bring them both maturity and back together. Down To You is not a great movie, in my estimation. But it is watchable and interesting to see the cycle of romance that might have begun too young.

Don't movies have little things called "plots"??? There was NO PLOT to this movie! The only reason you should watch this movie is if you have 90 minutes to kill before hitting yourself in the head with a brick! Honestly, this movie sucked...but if you really aren't looking for a movie with substance, there are enough entertaining moments to keep you occupied while watching it (even if it is just to make fun of it at points)

Well if you seen the other romantic comedy films Prinze has done, this one isn't much different....he meets the girl, they fall in love, break up and become lovers again to give a happy ending..... Prinze is the almost perfect boyfriend a girl can have (remember "She's all that")....the different qualities the girlfriend has in his movies is the only thing really different......and one more thing this movie does not take place in high school .... college and grad school partially... It definitely is not for someone wanting to see something new and thrilling....yet it is not a bad movie .... only thing is that the topic is too stereotypical... If you like teen, or college love stories,,,, might as well see it. ..or u are really bored and want to spend an hour an half of time... End Verdict 6/10 .....

Overall, the movie was bad. The plot was not well developed and don't even get me started on the moral aspects of this flick. Yet the movie offered three or four moving scenes. I found it romantic when she danced for him at the rhythm of "their song;" I suffered for them when she confessed her infidelity, and I was emotionally touched at the final scene in the park. I really was. To me, Hollywood is very good at showing the romantic side of love, even though they don't know squat about all the other aspects involved in a true loving relationship. In conclusion, what I do when I watch a flick like this, I fast forward 90% of the movie and just watch the romantic scenes.

There is absolutely no chemistry between Prinz and Styles, and the genre of this movie is a romantic comedy. This movie's pace is very slow and boring, and for what? A pathetic ending with absolutely no depth is what you have to look forward to. If you want to see a cliched plot and pointless conclusion, then this movie is the one for you.

It seems the writer and/or director was going for something prophetic in the name of modern relationships, but got horribly lost along the way by throwing in cliche after cliche plus a disjointed meaningless script that went absolutely nowhere. I strongly suggest that those who love Freddie Prinze, Jr. should stare at his picture for 90 minutes rather than paying $8 to endure this torturous abomination. There is no softness in Julia Stiles' performance to make you like her or believe that FP would fall so head over heels in love with her. I kept asking myself throughout (in between many glimpses of my watch) "What is going on here?" The supporting characters seemed to be included for "American Pie" type humor that wasn't even funny. It really makes you wonder who got paid off to get this wretched film made.
