Love at first sight! "Down to you" tells the story of Al (Freddie Prinze jr.), son of a TV-cook and Imogen (Julia Stiles), an art student. The movie is often compared with "She´s all that" - but that´s wrong! "Down to you" is not a copy of this movie just because there is Freddie Prinze jr. in it. This film is a class of its own. I´d rather call it a teen- variation of romantic screwball comedies like "When Harry met Sally". Some people said the characters were stereotypic like in "Beverly Hills 90 210". I must disagree here! In my eyes it was a nice idea to let Al and Imogen talk to the audience. You see all their ups and downs in their relationship from two perspectives. That´s what gave the characters the depth they needed - and in the ending you seem to know them like old friends. By the way the supporting cast is excellent! - especially Harry Winkler as Al´s father and Selma Blair as Cyrus.
Freddie Prinze jr. and Julia Stiles are such a lovely couple! Believe me, this film works! "Down to you" is a real cute movie!
