Music and Lyrics is frothy and sweet, like the top of a perfect cappuccino shared a deux. Hugh Grant is a self-professed "happy has-been," playing his befuddled, adorable persona more spot-on than he has since Four Weddings and a Funeral. As Alex, former member of an '80s pop band who years later is playing at water parks and high school reunions, he's settled into a life of lesser expectations. Drew Barrymore, quietly radiant, is Sophie, the underachieving girl Friday who arrives to water--make that overwater--Alex's plants--and to explode him out of that comfy rut. If the plot's a bit farfetched, it matters not, since the two lead characters are so likable--and make such beautiful music together. Big bonus: the supportive role of Kristen Johnston as Rhonda, Sophie's older sis (and longtime Alex fan) whose hilarious performance threatens to steal the show whenever she's onscreen. (The owner of a chain of successful weight-loss centers, Rhonda tries to comfort a rattled Sophie: "Want to do some stress eating?") The film also marks the remarkable debut of Haley Bennett, who plays a pop star of Britney/Cristina proportions with deadpan sincerity radiating through her skimpy outfits and mega-extensions. As Alex and Sophie work on crafting musical magic, something else is taking hold. It's music to the ears of anyone needing a sweet romantic comedy that hits all the right notes. --A.T. Hurley

- Spend an evening with Hugh and DrewA nicely done, very enjoyable romantic comedy. What I liked is the understatement. Before they meet, Drew Barrymore's character has had some disappointments in life, but is basically content, and Hugh Grant's character is actually fairly happy, too, as he coasts along on the remnants of his past fame. In other words, it wasn't a broad, high concept film along the lines of "two broken people meet and heal each other's hurts". No, it was more like two quirky, likable people making their lives even ... Read More
Rating:
- PiffleThere is zero chemistry between the aging Hugh Grant and Drew Barrymore, so the romance here is ice-cold. Grant does have a few comic moments as a washed up 80s pop singer, thanks to the script. But Barrymore is given nothing funny to say whatsoever. The twirpy pop star who wants them to write a song for her is the best thing in the movie. If you need to turn your mind off completely, this is a good candidate to watch.
Rating:
- It does what it should, and is good for the heart, the soul and the funny boneThe key to this movie is quite simple, really. You take two incredibly talented dramatic and comedy actors, a fantastic script, great music, a wonderful cast of supporting actors and a non-stop emotional roller coaster and you make a movie.
Why rate this romantic comedy 5 stars? Because I can't rate it 10! It does what a movie is supposed to do, it MOVES you. You laugh, you sigh, smile, cross- your-fingers - there isn't one person who hasn't gone through some if not all of the emotions ... Read More
Rating:
- Great Movie.Music and Lyrics is one of the good one's. It does an especially great job of bringing you back to the 80's. "Pop! Goes My Heart" should have been a top 40 song back then. Hugh and Drew are the best.
Rating:
- Utterly formulaic - and utterly delightful.Hugh Grant is the floundering has been of the 1980s musical scene, now relegated to playing high school reunions and amusement parks. His talent as a lyricist has vanished.
Drew Barrymore is surprisingly good at the ditz substituting for the regular plant waterer. (Yes, plant waterer.)
Grant is offered the opportunity to write a new song for a pop tart rock queen, Cora Corman played by the drop-dead gorgeous and talented Haley Bennett.
You can guess the rest. ... Read More
