Critic Reviews
Ostensibly a story about first love in college, and I never believed a frame of it.
The best the makers of Down to You can hope for is that girls in their early teens--clearly the film's target audience--will be so carried away by its charismatic stars that they'll overlook the film's various flaws.
There's nothing wrong with Down to You that a smart script and savvy direction couldn't cure.
Stinko movies often unwittingly critique themselves -- and the brain-dead romantic comedy Down to You (which Miramax understandably didn't screen in advance for critics) is no exception.
A disaster: dull, predictable, at times cringe-worthy.
The highlights of the movie are a great song, Sam Phillips' "I Need Love,'' which comes at the end, and Stiles' affecting crying scene.
Latest Freddie Prinze Jr. vehicle stalls at on-ramp.
Ah, young love. It can be quaint and heartwarming, but is largely inconsistent and painful -- kind of like this movie.
