Ed Sullivan Скачать К черту любовь >>> «The ultimate catch has met his match.» �?скрометная, полная юмора и сюрпризов, ретро-комедия в стиле 60-х годов об истории взаимоотношений писательницы-феминистки Барбары Новак, поставившей на любви крест и отчаянного бабника журналиста Кэтчера Блока, давно уже отказавшегося от любви ради секса. Барбара Новак взрывает весь Нью-Йорк своим бестселлером «К черту любовь!» и предлагает всем женщинам забросить свой старый образ жизни и стать такими же, как мужчины — заниматься сексом, не вступая в постоянные связи, делать карьеру и жить в свое удовольствие. Барбара не останавливается на книге, она вовсю пропагандирует новый стиль жизни вместе со своей ярой поклонницей и по совместительству редактором Викки. Кэтчер Блок циничный прожигатель жизни, дон-жуан и любитель стюардесс. Почуяв сенсационный материал для статьи, Кэтчер решает заодно хорошенько проучить разбушевавшуюся феминистку и полностью развенчать созданный ею мир женщин, отказавшихся от любви. На фоне шикарных апартаментов и элегантных клубов, роскошных и ярких нарядов разворачивается странный роман героев, наполненный двусмысленностями и сексуальным подтекстом, и чреватый неожиданными разоблачениями. Памятные цитаты: Peter MacMannus: I think Vickie was only talking about marriage so I'd wanna have sex with her. And then I did, and now she never talks to me, except to come back for more. And I always give in. I feel so used. Catcher Block: But this "Down with love"-chick is too busy? Doing what? Eating chocolate? Vickie Hiller: So you're a homosexual hopelessly in love with Catcher Block, that's no reason the two of us can't be married. Peter MacMannus: Catch, you are the best friend a guy with twenty diagnosed neuroses ever had. Catcher Block: Oh, we've been friends a long time... I knew you when you only had twelve. Catcher Block: Earth still is my favourite planet. Catcher Block: I love you, Barbara. Barbara Novak: I know. Catcher Block: It doesn't take a Nazi rocket scientist to figure *that* out. Catcher Block: I never once said a word about Nancy Brown, and the only prize I wanted to win, was you. Crazy, isn’t it? After all our tricking each other and our game playing, I'm the one with the love letter and you're the one with the scoop. Still, I'll keep my eyes on the billboards. Vickie Hiller: I don't get it. How could a person lose their built-in bar? Catcher Block: I don't care about sex anymore. I just want to get married. Peter MacMannus: Well me too. But fat chance now. Theodore Banner: You're my creative team, create a reason to get rid of her or I'll create a new creative team. Peter MacMannus: 4,000,000 women in the naked city, and the one you let get away, the one you had to get on the bad side of, is the one all the other 4,000,000 are listening to. Vickie Hiller: At the risk of sounding like my mother, just stay perfectly still and let him get it over with. Peter MacMannus: She's thrown away everything you've sent her; flowers, chocolates, a $6000 Celestron telescope that wasn't yours to send because it was mine.

One of my favorite films of 2003!

I cannot say just how much I enjoyed this movie in the theater, and now that it's out on DVD, I'm ecstatic! I went to 3 stores before I found one that actually sold the DVD instead of just renting it, but I'm glad I did.

I think this film is grossly misunderstood and underappreciated. Peyton Reed has done a wonderful job in recreating the fun, silly, romantic sex-comedies of the 1960s. Everything from the sets, the costumes, the music score, the dialogue, the wide angle shots, and the stock footage -- which borrows from "That Touch of Mink", by the way -- are perfectly applied to this modern homage. Ewan and Renee give delightful performances that don't attempt to imitate the chemistry created by Rock and Doris, not that they could. That's a pretty tall order to fill. Instead, they create their own chemistry, and they do so wonderfully.

David Hyde Pierce and Sarah Paulson pull some hilarious, showstopping scenes out of their hats as well. My favorite is the "fight" in front of the elevator. The People's Eyebrow couldn't compete with the look that David delivers. No one's kidding when they call this man a comic genius.

There's some delightful treats in the shape of Tony Randall, too-naughty-for-1962 split-screen phone conversations, and a variety show song & dance number with a funny cameo by Marc Shaiman. The DVD has a fantastic blooper reel, plus behind the re-creation of 1962 shorts. Not to be oversimplified, the attention to detail does not end with the glossy gowns. In this film, we get a social snapshot of our film psyche with references to the space race, dacron vs. garters, cultural stereotypes of foreign countries, the Hollywood version of beatniks, and feminism before the Women's Movement.

I've heard some critics complain that the film would have worked better as a musical or it's full of simplistic double entendres and plotlines. Hello! Welcome to the '60s! Take a look back at some of those classic films and you'll see the exact same characteristics and "faults". Plus, a lot these complaints can be attributed to many of the vapid, nonsensical romantic comedies made today as well.

What's great about "Down With Love" is that it's not only an homage to those classic films of yesteryear, but it delivers a final presentation that could easily have been lost in a time capsule for 40 years and resurfaced today. The only thing that pulls it closer to 2003 than 1962 is the frank conversations about casual sex, which just lends credence to the idea as to why it could've been shelved 40 years ago. It's not that you wouldn't have heard those conversations back then, they just wouldn't have made it to the silver screen.

I hope more people give this film a chance. People who will choose to sit back and enjoy the movie for what it is -- a delightful, comedic film with a kiss of history that makes us laugh at ourselves. If you do rent the DVD, you can see in the HBO special that the cast and crew had just as much fun making the film as you will watching it.
