Down with Love

This weekend I watched Down with Love, a 2003 comedy directed by Peyton Reed, starring Ewan McGregor and Renee Zellweger.  I thought this movie was hilarious!  In the film, McGregor and Zellweger take part in a love-hate relationship involving loads of chocolate and false identities.  The sexual tension in this movie is incredible.  Although there aren't actually any sex scenes in the movie (I'm pretty sure both characters remain completely clothed) the puns and style of the film build up the audience's anticipation for all 101 minutes.  I especially enjoyed the costumes and set designs of this film.  While the outfits certainly mimic stereotypical garb from the early 1960s, everything has been pushed just a step further.  Dresses and furniture are vibrant colors which create a magazine-like feel.  Indeed, everything about this movie pushes the envelope, from the saturated colors, to the double entendre dialogues, to the film's ridiculous plot line.  I highly recommend this movie to anyone who enjoys a less cliche romantic comedy.
