Down with Love is an American romantic comedy motion picture released in the United States on May 9, 2003. It stars Renée Zellweger, Ewan McGregor, David Hyde Pierce, Sarah Paulson, and Tony Randall in his final film performance.
A tribute to the early 1960's bedroom comedies of Doris Day and Rock Hudson, Down with Love is the story of Barbara Novak (Zellweger), a farm girl from Maine, who finds fame and fortune as the author of a book telling women how they can become liberated and free from male domination by giving up on love and substituting chocolate for physical pleasure. Meanwhile, ace reporter Catcher Block (McGregor), a playboy in the classic sense, sets out to expose her as a fraud.
