College coeds in New York City, Al (Freddie Prinze Jr.), the son of a celebrity chef (Henry Winkler), and Imogen (Julia Stiles), a talented artist, become smitten the second they lay eyes on one another at a bar. However, the road to happiness is not a smooth one. Outside forces, including a predatory porn star (Selma Blair) who wants to lure Al into her bed, threaten to pull apart the young lovers before their romance has a chance to really flourish.

Critics Consensus

Down to You is ruined by a bland, by-the-numbers plot and an awful script.

It's like watching the dreckiest of teen puppy courtships trying to pass itself off as 'Annie Hall.

Weak and often inappropriate romantic comedy.

It's all reasonably pleasant to watch, but Isacsson doesn't seem to know what to do with the story once Al and Imogen fall in love.

1/4

...an often uncommonly worthless romcom that squanders the undeniable charisma of its two leads.

Not in any way a harmful or distasteful film, however clumsy it might be, Down to You is simply entirely forgettable.

Both Julia Stiles and Freddie Prinze Jr. deserve better.

Storyline was awful but I super love Julia Stiles

Not original, and not much done to it to put a different spin on it. I did fall asleep during this, because I was tired, because I was watching it very late, but I think this could have some re-watch value, and get better on each viewing. Not very funny either. Also some really bad things written in that resulted in those parts being poorly performed. It's not Freddie Prinze Jr's best movie, either. But, it's not like, completely awful. I'm not surprised it has a three percent, though, even though if I don't completely agree with it.

It wasn't bad. But it wasn't great either. The acting was mostly ok but the dialogues seemed kind of... wrong. One thing that stayed with me is the unusual path the story-telling followed

Patchy but cute. Some of the story and acting, particularly from the supporting cast, is painfully hammy and nearly puts this in b grade hell. However, Julia Stiles and Freddie Prinz Jnr are both so sweet in this it kind of balances out. It's not a great movie or a must see, but for anyone who liked all the 90's teen films, this is enjoyable enough.
