	Author	Review
United States	Peter Travers Rolling Stone	"What starts as freshly spun cotton candy ends as something pink, sticky and indigestible. You leave the theater wanting to puke it up (…) Rating: ★★ (out of 4)"	NEG
United States	Roger Ebert rogerebert.com	"'Down With Love' is no better or worse than the movies that inspired it, but that is a compliment, I think (…) Rating: ★★★ (out of 5)"	POS

United Kingdom	Peter Bradshaw The Guardian	"This gave me a migraine so bad I virtually had to be hospitalised."	NEG
United States	Richard Brody The New Yorker	"It’s rare for the copy to improve on the original, but that’s what Peyton Reed’s wildly inventive 2003 comedy 'Down With Love' (...) does with the New-York-centric Rock Hudson/Doris Day comedies"	POS
United States	David Rooney Variety	"This elaborate eye candy should post solid numbers initially for Fox but is not fun enough to win hearts for the long haul."	NEU
