About this movie

Barbara Novak (Renee Zellweger) hits New York City with her new book Down With Love, a feminist manifesto on saying "no" to love and "yes" to career, empowerment...and sex. As Barbara's revolutionary tome rockets to the top of best-seller charts, she becomes the target of ace journalist Catcher "Catch" Block (Ewan McGregor), ladies' man/man's man/man-about-town, who is determined to take her down. While Catch's best friend and boss, the neurotic Peter MacMannus (David Hyde Pierce), tries to rein in his star writer, he haplessly pursues the object of his own affections; Vikki Hiller, Barbara's brilliant and feisty editor Vikki plays tough in a man's world just like her protege Barbara...but will they end up unexpectedly in love?

Ratings and reviews

The leads are good, an attempt to do a Doris Day/Rock Hudson (Natalie Wood/Sex and the Single Girl) style Rom Com. Personally, I'd much rather watch the originals of that era. Doris with Cary Grant, Rod Taylor, James Garner and of course Rock Hudson. Can't beat them!!!!
