I almost liked Down With Love (2003), but then I didn't. My main problem is that Renee Zellweger has turned ugly and no one is admitting it. Her face looks like a newborn mole — all puffy and eyes squished closed — except not as cute. When her editor, played by Sarah Paulson, meets her, she croons, "You're gorgeous!" That just made me laugh because she looks like a total mess. Paulson, who is supposed to be the dowdy brunette sidekick, is 10 times prettier than Renee. It's hilarious.
Renee's co-star Ewan McGregor doesn't really do it for me either. His head is just too darn big and he has too many moles on it. And his gleaming white teeth are too big too.
Now, for a romance to work for me, the leads don't necessarily have to be attractive. But so much of this movie is about them being GORGEOUS that when they're not, it all just kind of falls flat.
