Not only is this a great spin on the “liar revealed” trope by also having her reveal to him and the audience “actually, I haven’t been honest either”, but the fact that Zellweger did this whole three minute confession monologue in just one take! That is just brilliant🤣🤣Ewan’s face at the end says it all
See she really loves him.....because she knows him, better than anyone, maybe even he himself knows him, and she loves him anyhow. She knows how deep his vanity is and exactly how he's act and react to the situation she created, and she still loves him anyhow.
Fun fact, Renee Zellweger was almost cast as Satine in Moulin Rouge alongside Ewan McGregor. So Down With Love is the closest thing to a Renee/Ewan Moulin Rouge movie pair that we have.
You know, the funny thing about me watching this, is i kinda figured she know he was faking his identity during the relationship and she was playing along, and yet i was still surprised by this plot reveal as a whole.
Oh she is definitely psycho. But this whole movie is a satire of old school 1960s-ish rom coms. So the big reveal being extra crazy and psychotic is just the cherry on top to a great movie
Bad casting. It’s too contrived in its blatant attempt to be like an early 60s Doris Day type love story. Zellwiggle just doesn’t have it. The central idea just falls flat. This costs 35 million and made 37 at the box office. The male lead doesn’t have it either! He’s too short, thin, and just not natural. His acting isn’t suave like Hudson or Garner, he’s one dimensional . He’s not naturally good looking either. Couldn’t he do something about those moles? And the Scottish accent! Doris Day was a star in movies for years her rep was well established. Plus, she was talented and cute. Renee was none of those things. And whoever believed this woman to be a great comedic talent, or a bubbling sex symbol? Huh? There isn’t any reason to care one bit about these two characters. There are Low budget love stories have been successful in getting you to care about the male and female leads! Not here! These two wooden characters have no chemistry. Did they even like each other? The look of the film has the color and setting of an early 60s film of this type. Great job on that. People walked out of the theater. Others left at the end quietly. What does that tell you? What a bad title, Down With Love. The explanation of the book in the film’s story just doesn’t make much sense. In fact, that is rather hinted at within the film itself! By the way, David Hyde Pierce, casting, and acting: right on the money! His part is a homage to Tony Randal with his own charm and acting chops! He lights up the screen. But he can’t carry the film by himself. Yes, Tony Randal, who looks horrible, is in the movie. He is listed in the cast. But it’s a one and a half minute cameo! Even that was a failure! Don’t bother watching this!
Just because you didn’t like it doesn’t mean you have to write a thesis in the form of a UA-cam comment trying to convince others it’s bad. It’s inspired by Doris Day romcoms, but it’s no imitation. It lives and lifts itself on its own charm, and don’t you dare insult Ewan McGregor. The moles are charming. Makes him more than just one dimensional handsome.
I wholeheartedly DISAGREE. Ewan Macgregor is great in this. Who cares about his height, which is average or his weight, which is normal and healthy. He has the confidence, charm, and sex appeal to make his character believable. Sexiness is not often about the most perfect physical specimen. Renee is quirky and very cute. I really don't get what you're on about. If you don't like the movie, okay. I thought it was very cute, and really unique and different than anything I've seen.

A phenomenal as this monologue was...his expression was the cherry on top!
The Gone Girl plot twist wants what this has
Gone girl was amazing
Damn imagine memorising all those words
That is not even the hard part. The hard part is getting through it without messing up the proununciation xD The pressure
Well, it apparently took her six takes to ace it
I thought she did in 1 take@@someguy1728

Don't forget Miss Potter
@@brierichardson8462 Oh yeah forgot Miss Potter.
She got an Oscar in 2003 and this movie proved it!
I forgot she did but I just thought this is Oscar worthy
This monologue is so good, I don’t even mind it’s told in whispers.
Now that's a monologue
Acting at its peak
Yo recuerdo cuando vi esta peli por primera vez y ese monólogo me compró completamente
This movie is a parody of 1960s movies. It's parodying the confession scene trope LOL
You know, the funny thing about me watching this, is i kinda figured she know he was faking his identity during the relationship and she was playing along, and yet i was still surprised by this plot reveal as a whole.
Mother.
Why are there no comments on this?
Am i the only one who thinks what she did is kinda phycho and creepy? Or is there something i did not understand properly or missed?
They're both sociopaths
As she said, he met his "match"
@@Mariecks992 weird movie
I agree but I’m letting my morals slide as it’s a rom com and also, she did something he would’ve done for an exposé
Oh she is definitely psycho. But this whole movie is a satire of old school 1960s-ish rom coms. So the big reveal being extra crazy and psychotic is just the cherry on top to a great movie
20th anniversary
One of the most convoluted and stupid plot twists I've ever seen. The rest of the movie was fun though.

You think Ewan Mcgregor isn't handsome. He could do whatever he likes to me and I'm straight.

Renee got 2 oscars niw
you're writing a one-sided movie review and you're not good at it. With everything you pointed at 90% are of your biased point of view.
