This Big
Apple-based romantic comedy charts the tumultuous relationship between
liberal arts student and budding chef Al (Freddie Prinze Jr.) and his first
girlfriend, Imogen (Julia Stiles), a self-possessed freshman who wants to
become an artist. After meeting in a bar, the pair jump into a giddy,
passionate affair that's grown-up enough to include face time between the
young lovers and Al's DJ mom and TV-chef dad (Henry Winkler). After a summer
abroad, however, Imogen feels like the relationship is robbing her of her
youth, and the couple must struggle with romantic and domestic growing
pains. Meanwhile, their wacky friends -- who include porn stars (Selma Blair
and Zak Orth), stoners (Rosario Dawson), a mullet-haired lunkhead (Shawn
Hatosy), and a Jim Morrison look-alike named Jim Morrison (Ashton Kutcher)
-- provide laughs, advice, and sexual temptation. The debut film from
writer/director Kris Isacsson, the teen-themed Down to You marked a change
of pace for normally grown-up Miramax Films. In addition to a slew of recent
rock and pop, the film prominently features music from such downtown New
York fixtures of the past decade as Deee-Lite ("Groove is in the Heart") and
Cibo Matto ("Moonchild").

Selma
says
"I did a movie called "Down to You" that we all want to forget - that most
people did forget to see, which is really fine in my book, but my mother
liked it. My mother said, "I thought that was a really nice movie."
