Barbara Novak (Zellweger) hits New York City with her new book
Down With Love, a pre-feminist manifesto on saying “no” to love and “yes” to career, empowerment – and sex. As Barbara’s revolutionary tome rockets to the top of best-seller charts, she becomes the target of ace journalist Catcher “Catch” Block (McGregor), ladies’ man / man’s man / man about town, who is determined to take her down.
Catch’s best friend and boss, the neurotic and lovesick Peter McMannus (Pierce), tries to rein in his star writer, while haplessly pursuing the object of his affections, Vikki Hiller (Paulson), Barbara’s brilliant and feisty editor. Vikki plays tough in a man’s world, which includes her old-style chauvinist boss, Theodore Banner (Randall).
Brilliantly-written screenplay. Genius really, that it was the perfect transformation of Pillow Talk. And David Hyde Pierce is genius as the Tony Randall character.
it was the best movie ever i love her she was so cool in there
Oops!! A mistake....When Barbara arrives in New York and gets in the cab by the United Nations building, the Canadian flag that is shown for that period is yet to exist! Americans might not realize that but Canadians certainly would! Oops!!
