Renee and Ewan fail to sparkle

DVD/Video: Down With Love Twentieth Century Fox Home Entertainment, 15, £15.99/£12.99

Down With Love is an illadvised attempt to update the Rock Hudson-Doris Day comedy sensibility to our altogether more cynical age.

Glam author Renee Zellweger, who has written a book advising women to do away with love, falls for hotshot journalist Ewan MacGregor - who is, predictably, just trying to catch her out for an expose.

The colours are gorgeously 1960s and the sets and costumes sparkle, too - only the two leads are dull, panting for breath in the grip of an airless, tasteless story.
