For reasons of box office success, teenage films often become smash hits due to movie injustice or a drought of the particular genre which sends the desperate adolescent audience in an incomprehensible scramble for the nearest cinema.
Marketing gimmicks aimed at my target audience rarely work on me unless films have prominent industry awards to go hand in hand with it, but with the promise of Julia Stiles from "10 Things I Hate About You", and Freddie Prinze Jr, I sat through the most horrendous and mentally painfully teenage romantic comedy experience of my movie going life. This forgettable movie again features the nocturnal habitants who float about the genre exclusively, and another string of mid twenties wannabes who should rethink about returning to their ordinary day jobs.
High school days absent, using the less frequently treaded stomping ground of college, it does not assist a highly evident flawed script with characters so wooden and hollow that they are less interesting than swiss cheese. By having both lead characters taking turns to tell their respective sides of the story, it only shows the screenwriter's inability to deliver on the already low standards expected from teen romantic comedy.
"Down to You" features a soundtrack fortunately not ear shattering. What a bonus for finding the comforts of your own bed right before the action. There aren't many movies in release that will allow, for eight dollars, to find the most therapeutic sleep enriched slumber away from home.
Rating: 4/10
