I couldn't decide how to reply because I wasn't sure if you were being funny or not since I mostly agreed with the critique as far as it went. Down with Love tried to update all the innuendo and visual gags which felt somewhat at odds with the 60s style but I still enjoyed it, mostly because of Ewan I guess. Oh good, I thought so!

Didn't mean to "Mary" anything! Ric and I were both snorting when she said she was 31 in the movie. Her puckered sourpuss face is too set in with sour lines to accept her as 31. And she really couldn't catch on to the tone and pace of older styled movies in either Leatherheads OR Down with Love. (If I were going to Marify these comments, you'd see a lot more underlines.)

She couldn't get a pulse on her dialog (even though the dialog could have been much better) and was too old for the role (which was for a 31-year-old!) in Leatherheads. She was also in Down with Love, which is picks up on the vibe of old Doris Day comedies. She wasn't able to peg that part either. I just don't think she's meant to play these types of roles.
