    Both Julia Stiles and Freddie Prinze Jr. deserve better.

    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.

    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

    [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.

    Julia Stiles is fetching, but no surprises rain on the limpid parade of familiar post-adolescent love.

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

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

    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.

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