Leave your thoughts about Down with Love.

| FilmJerk.comEdward HavensThose of us who have made motion pictures a passion will find extra joy in all the little cinematic in-jokes. |
| Montreal Film JournalKevin N. LaforestAn irresistible throwback to the glamour, wit and style that used to characterise Hollywood. |
