A threadbare Pillow Talk

I too had missed this at the cinema, and was looking forward to it, as I'm a huge fan of Rock and Doris, and especially Pillow Talk, which Down With Love references. However the references fall flat; Zellweger and MacGregor can't bring much to the roles beyond simpering archly. David Hyde Pierce and his co-star are much more charasmatic and sympathetic. Despite lush visuals, an overblown score and classic inspiration from the 50s, Down With Love is dry, flat, unfunny and sexless.
