REVIEWS
Down With Love (2003) In the male lead, and definitely more a sharp, suave Cary Grant than a dumb, lumbering Rock Hudson, is Ewan McGregor. He plays irresistible rogue Catcher Block (ladies’ man, man’s man, man about town) the playboy journalist who seeks to dethrone the new queen of New York. It’s a role he was born to play. Wendy Ide, Sunday Herald, September 28 2003 (thank you Gail)
Young Adam (2003) Ewan McGregor, who has recently hopped from genre to genre ("Moulin Rouge," "Attack of the Clones," "Down With Love") like a caffeinated cricket, has a jumpy ferocity that makes him perfect for the role. Even sitting still, smoking a hand-rolled cigarette or reading a tattered paperback, he radiates a feverish, slightly dangerous intensity, a charisma disproportionate to Joe's modest, straitened surroundings. A.O. Scott, The New York Times, October 8 2003 (thank you Gail)
