Summary: Ugh.
Review: This movie was so bad I literally cringed in embarrassment on behalf of the stars. Julia Stiles was a horrible choice (she's too young looking to play a professional adult) and Freddie Prinze, Jr. just came off [bad] (and I LIKE Freddie Prinze, Jr.!) - especially in the "lip synch" scenes. Skip this, skip this, skip this.

Rating: 2 stars
Summary: Nice Story ¿ Bad Storytelling
Review: THE STORY:

Freddy Prinze Jr. (She's All That, Summer Catch, etc) and Julia Stiles (Ten Things I Hate About You, Save the Last Dance, O, etc.) play Al and Imogen who through a series of flashbacks and weird cut-aways recount their on-again/off-again romance. Overall, deep down inside the story is probably pretty nice - IF YOU CAN TOLERATE THE STORYTELLING TO THE VERY END.

In sum, the countless flashbacks and seemingly pointless cut-aways will leave you confused, frustrated and ultimately very bored!!! I personally stopped watching the movie about 40 minutes into the rental. My fiancé managed to make it to the end but even she said the movie "was not that good" and "was not worth the rental" (well, it's a paraphrase as a little more colorful language was used) citing the same reasons (confusing jumps from scene-to-scene, etc).

Overall, I think this movie suffers from the "promising story, BAD execution" syndrome.

THE DVD Features:

A little sparse on DVD special features the DVD also includes these:

1. Billy Myers "It All Came Down To You" music video: An alright feature, but not alone worth the DVD

2. A "making of the music video" special: a 45 second video set to the song. 45 seconds??? Geez, what was the point???

3. Trailers for two other movies, "She's All That" (starring male lead Freddie Prinze Jr.) and "Ten Things I Hate About You" (starring female lead Julia Stiles).

THE VERDICT:

In all, it's safe for me to say that if you've never seen this you're probably better off saving your money and renting/buying some better movies to watch (such as the two other movies featured in the trailers section). In all, unless you don't mind the non-sensical storytelling you're off probably - most definitely - better off spending your time and money on another movie.

Apparently, I wasn't the only who felt this way about the movie as I remember it not lasting more than a month in the theatres before it was yanked when it first came out.

Recommendation to Take A Pass and Rent/Buy Something Better...

Summary: A tale of love, marshamllow cake and Freddie Prinze Jr
Review: Here we have a typical love story. Enter Freddie Prinze Jr who happens to be in the right place at the right time and meets the girl of his dreams..Julia Stiles. A match made in heaven...inseperable and oblivious to life around them. After a summer apart things seem different, that feeling they had was no longer.
Friends around them start to play a bigger part in their relationship...for better or worse? Enter some great characters played by Selma Blair, Ashton Kutcher and Shawn Hatosy.
Can time change everything? Can the 'feeling' disapeer like yesterdays lunch?
This movie is worth a watch...the cast is great and there are some great moments in it!

Rating: 1 stars
Summary: Really bad
Review: I rented this movie when I was home with the flu. I was bored and wanted something to watch. But even though I was bored and would've watched about anything I did'nt even watch the whole movie. It was that bad. It's a really typical romance movie and you know what will happen all the time. The actors are'nt very very bad but they can't make this movie interesting. If you like hollywood romance movies maybe you'll like this. Otherwise DON`T buy this.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: I just love this movie! It's the best romantic comedy!
Review: I really enjoyed this movie! Yea, at first it comes off as some what cheezy but its truly a great movie! I recomend you see it, its a must buy if you are into Freddie Prinze Jr. Another great movie is Head Over Heels. Like this one it is full of comedy and has a great romanic story.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Not what it seems
Review: The Movie Down to You,

although the critics labeled it as a boy/girl movie,
I thought it was a little more.

It appeared to go in the way of a Guy dare issue,
then it seemed like a sure relationship,

Then it seemed like it all changed to an ending,
well the ending didn't go the way I anticipated it would go.

It touched all of the changes of a person, I think are like Seasons in a year.

Summary: to bestoligirl
Review: This film is reality, that's the way things work. Don't try to find and explanation why girls act this way... the fact is they do it. And that's all.
Take Care,

Summary: Great Date Movie, I Loved It
Review: This movie is a wonderful dipiction of how the one that got away is never completely gone. This movie helped me to not give up hope and get that ONE back. Freddy and Julia have great moments in this movie that show the real side of relationships. The writers found how to touch audiences at a level that they may have wondered about before but never knew the answers to. If you are a romantic, like myself, or into some comedy than this movie will suit you.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: A Wonderful Romantic Comedy!
Review: Freddie Prinze Jr. does it again, but this time with the beautiful Julia Stiles. He plays the son of a chef, while Julia plays a girl with a great interest in art. They go through the dating experience, with some great suprises. I highly recomend this movie for people of all ages, especially teens. I was really wonderful!

Rating: 2 stars
Summary: This Movie SUCKS !
Review: I thought this movie was so horrible that they should have to pay you in order to watch it. I thought not only was it stupid but, it was incredibly boring. I was so disappointed that I had to force myself to see the ending. I don't ever care to see this movie again. Really 2 stars is being too kind. If you are thinking of buying this movie do yourself a favor DON'T!.
