Synopsis

Down with Love is the story of Barbara Novak (Zellweger), a farm girl from Maine, who finds fame and fortune as the author of 'Down With Love', a book that tells women to become liberated and free from male domination by giving up on love and substituting chocolate for physical pleasure. Meanwhile, ace reporter Catcher Block (McGregor), a playboy in the classic sense, sets out to expose her as a fraud, and invents an alter ego, 'Zip Martin', to seduce her. Along the way, Barbara's garrulous editor and publicist (Paulson) and Catcher's naïve, insecure best friend and boss Peter (Pierce) provide comic relief.
