Runtime: 1 hr 32 mins

Genre: Comedies

Synopsis: Down to You is the tale of Al Connelly (FREDDIE PRINZE, JR.) and Imogen (JULIA STILES), a young couple whose passionate romance takes them for a ride down the all-too-powerful path of first...

  • Down To You
  • Hot screen favorites Freddie Prinze Jr. (SHE'S ALL THAT, I KNOW WHAT YOU DID LAST SUMMER) and Julia Stiles (10 THINGS I HATE ABOUT YOU) sizzle in a fun and sexy comedy where the magic of first love collides with the challenges of real life! From the moment they meet amid the chaos of college in New York City, Al (Prinze) and Imogen (Stiles) begin a romantic journey where true love often competes with the temptation to stray from commitment! As time passes and an outrageous array of friends enter the scene, they'll celebrate all the highs and confront all the lows that greet their passionate affair. Also featuring Henry Winkler (THE WATERBOY), Selma Blair (CRUEL INTENTIONS), and Shawn Hatosy (OUTSIDE PROVIDENCE, THE FACULTY) in a stellar cast -- you'll want to join this irresistible couple as they face the future ... with some wildly unexpected results!

    [A] relentlessly adolescent romantic comedy.

    An often endearing but largely botched attempt to put a more grown-up spin on the teen movie.

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

    The inexperienced Isacsson's muddled stew of styles and story asides often leaves the movie flailing around like a dying fish.

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

    We have a love story whose charm is often undercut by silly would-be comedy.

    Down to You is mildly worth watching for the performances if you don't get hung up on the cluttered plot.

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

    Playing a couple destined to be together by the last reel, Stiles and Prinze are up against it: there's not much tension in their fights or passion in their make-ups, mostly because their conclusion is so foregone.

    [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.
