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").
