Al (Freddie Prinze Jr., from She's All That and I Know What You Did Last Summer) and Imogen (Julia Stiles from 10 Things I Hate About You) take turns narrating the story of their college romance. Al has a celebrity chef for a father (an amusing turn from Henry Winkler) and a rising porn star for a best friend (Zak Orth). The dialogue is stale, the story flounders, and the movie can't seem to decide whether it wants to be a sweet romance or a social satire. Down to You keeps dropping into odd fantasy bits that have nothing to do with, well, much of anything. But all the stars--including Selma Blair (Cruel Intentions) and Shawn Hatosy (Outside Providence) are pleasant and well groomed (well, except for Hatosy, who bears the brunt of being the poster boy for every fad of the '90s), and the soundtrack (featuring Cibo Matto, early David Bowie, Yo La Tengo, and others) is excellent. --Bret Fetzer

Refreshing for its sweetness and innocence:
This film is not Oscar material - no best picture or best actor/actress nominations need apply. Yet Freddie Prinze Jr. and Julia Styles give commanding and poignant performances that portray young, innocent, enduring true love, making this a classy flick. If you're looking for a romantic and light-hearted movie, get this. It's refreshing and it will make you smile.
Down to You:
This movie was very lame. I bought it because henry Winkler was in it. he is not in it very much, and the other Freddie Prince, Jr. and Julia Stiles ruined the movie with their bad acting, and nonattractiveness. Henry was good.
As cheesy as this sounds:
Ok, so this movie is far from a work of art. At best it's a cheesy high school chick flick. Maybe it just came out at a time I could completely relate to the story (broke up with my high-school boyfriend) but I still love this movie even today. In fact, last year I asked my sister for the DVD for my bday, and I love it just as much. Imagine played by Julia Stiles, whom I love is an indepent girl who falls for Alfred played by Prinze Jr. His innocence is adorable, and their story is cute, and magical.... more info
Love this Movie:
This is an excellent film with Freddie and Julia. They made a great combo! I have been searching for the dvd for a while. Now, I finally have it in my hands!!!
