Review of Down to You

Down to You (2000)
7/10

to quote the previous commenter,

"Boy meets girl. Boy and girl fall in love. Boy and girl break-up. Boy and girl miss each other and get back together. The end."

its all true, BUT there is a lot more to this movie than that trite plot summary

a good movie starts with characters you care about, you don't want them to get hurt and you want them to be happy. This movie manages this, prinze and stiles manage to rise about the dross of pretty people and portray their characters with a deal of sympathy

another strength of the movie is the direction. some people dislike strange cuts, talking to camera and a lot of tricksey and humorous continuity. this movie has all of these in buckets

in short this movie is not great art, but it is an agreeable 90 mins of bittersweet escapism
