Down With Love

I'm going to New York tomorrow! Eek. While I'm there, I decided that it's going to be reviewing a chick flick a day. In honor of this, I chose a cute movie set in New York, and figured why not start early with the chick flick marathon. Today's movie: Down With Love

Thoughts: Down With Love is an old-school style chick flick that takes place in 1960's New York. It stars Renée Zellwegger as Barbara Novak, a strong businesswoman and author that writes a book detailing how women don't need men and shouldn't fall in love. Catcher Block, the protagonist player, does all he can to try and sabatoge Novak's career by manipulating her to fall in love with him, but accidentally falls for her himself. :)

RETURN OF THE LISTS!

Reasons this Movie is a Great Chick Flick:
1. Ewan Mcgregor
2. Ewan Mcgregor with a British AND southern accent
3. The cute retro vibe
4. The ending song that the main characters sing
5. Frank Sinatra love songs

Cute and fluffy enough to watch for a girls' night in but with enough plot to keep you interested
in more than just the lovey-dovey stuff, Down With Love rightfully earns a place in my Awesome-Possum Chick Flick Marathon.
