Not bad, considering it had Freddie in it!
Down to You didn't last long in the movie theaters, and I was surprised to see it on the shelves at the video stores. The main reason why I saw it was because of Julie Stiles, who I thought was good in 10 Things I Hate About You. I didn't want to see it at first, because I can't stand Freddie Prinze Jr! I thought I'd give it a shot because Julie was in it, and I enjoy watching high school type movies. This wasn't your typical high school movie though. It was more towards the late teens/early twenties crowd. Julie plays Imogen, a Freshman at the local college that's studying to be an Artist. Freddie plays Al, also a student at the college, that wants to be a world famous chef, like his father (played by Henry Winkler). Al's father has his own cooking show on TV (just think Emeril Lagasse). His father has plans for him and Al to have their own father-son show, but Al wants to work his way from the bottom up. The main focus of the movie was concentrated on Imogen and Al's relationship of course. The movie has some great characters in it, like Al's father, his best friend that's in the porn industry, and a wanna be Jim Morrison. I thought the story was good, and the directing as well. I liked how both Al and Imogen were both telling the story. The only part that I didn't like about the movie was when Imogen ruined their relationship by......well not to spoil it for you, but you should watch it. This is a good date movie, and should make your date cry!

Down To You
Very similar to She's All That, and I have a feeling that this is the formula we're going to be seeing for a great deal of time. Freddie Prinze has had the same sweetheart role in every one of his movies - so I'm starting to look for something different from him... Julia Stiles impressed me - as she has now played the ugly girl (10 Things I Hate About You) and the beautiful girl, and each she seems to let her character show. Henry Winkler as Chef Ray was a bit over-the-top, but it worked. The script itself was interesting - although quite predictable (aside from the shampoo-drinking incident). Being so, it had periods where it dragged. It was obviously written to appeal to the teenage audience, and I'm going to venture that it was drawn up the night after the box-office reviews from "She's All That" reached Isaacson's (writer/director) ears.

Overall, it was a pretty good movie. The actors worked well with the script, although the format was a bit off - the way that it was told from the point of view of Prinze "looking back" on his first love, didn't really work with the ending, as it would have seemed that Prinze had never seen this girl again in the way he was telling the story. But details are unimportant in the world of teen movies, and the feeling here is good.

SOOOOOOOO DRY
This film was a sweet but dry love story. Fred and Jessica were an okay couple but THe relationship they had in this film protrays real life relationships. Meaning everything is all sweet in the beginnig of the relationship and it gets old and someone wants to get out of it later, since its getting to serious. Jessica's charater was real honest when she said ,she is nt ready for this type of serious relationship. Poor Fred, he was really faithful to her and he is every girls dream man. Overall the supporting cast was dull and no help at all to this film to make it funny. This was a romantic dramma not a comedy. I dndt laugh at all except for the lip synching by stiles and fred. Their lip synching was the best part in the film that put a smile in my face because the songs were nice. Other than that, it was an okay couldve been better flick. I advise anyone to rent it. This film is not worth owning.Unless they play it on tv to tape it for free.

I sill love ya fred no matter what dry film u are in.
