Down with Love (2003)

Cast: Renee Zellweger (Barbara Novak), Ewan McGregor (Catcher Block), Sarah Paulson (Vikki Hiller), David Hyde Pierce (Peter MacMannus)
For complete cast, see IMDb's Down with Love page.

This period piece (set in 1962) about an author of a feminist advice book and a playboy journalist trying to get the scoop of a lifetime is very well done. The costumes are wonderful. The whole movie has an updated 60's feel. I thought it was a very enjoyable way to spend some time and well worth watching, though I can see why some people don't find it entertaining enough. It's not for everyone, but I think this is a good examination of the battle of the sexes and stereotypes of the 60's.

Grade: B+
