New York Post
Stinko movies often unwittingly critique themselves -- and the brain-dead romantic comedy Down to You (which Miramax understandably didn't screen in advance for critics) is no exception. - 10

Prinze and Stiles regularly talk to the camera, but that doesn't make their characters self-aware. - 10
The New York Times
Extremely good-looking people tend to be shallow, self-involved and not very bright. Let's call this statement what it is: a form of prejudice, a stereotype. It is, sadly, a stereotype that Down to You does everything in its power to promote. - 0

A disaster: dull, predictable, at times cringe-worthy.
