Down with Love

Down with Love by Novak, Barbara. paperback edition. ISBN: 9780060541620.

Down with Love – the upcoming movie from Twentieth Century Fox starring Renee Zellweger and Ewan McGregor – is a homage to the romantic comedies of the fifties and sixties. Barbara Novak is the author of the feminist manifesto Down With Love. As her revolutionary book rockets to the top of the bestseller lists she becomes the target of ladies man and ace journalist Catcher Block who is determined to debunk her message. Catchers best friend and boss – the neurotic and lovesick Peter McManus – tries to rein his star writer in while haplessly pursuing the object of his affection, Barbaras feisty editor. Mistaken identities, frantic roundelays, shocking revelations and ever–changing perceptions about love and sex are just a few of the movie/books surprises.
