Movie Review: Fun Movie
Summary: 5 Stars
We really enjoyed this movie. When we recently played it a second time for guests, we enjoyed it even more. Lots of deadpan one liners that you can miss the first time!! I think this was the best Hugh Grant acting I've seen. My husband is nuts about the spoof music videon by "Pop" and has played it a couple of times, very catchy tune.Movie Review: Excellent movie
Summary: 5 Stars
A good romantic comedy film, a good idea for your girlfriend as a gift on any occasion.Movie Review: Very cute and entertaining flick! Barrymore & Grant shine!
Summary: 4 Stars
This review is for the UK edition of the HD DVD, but I was not sure what Amazon would do to the HD DVD records, so I am reviewing the BD.
PQ 3.5/5, AQ 4/5. Watched on 42" Panasonic Plasma and BD30K Player. I was very impressed that both actors sang the songs, as well. I had thought I remembered hearing this,but the end credits confirmed it.
The story of "has-been" singer meets "muse", is one that has been regurgitated in popular culture, but this one has the necessary chemistry and heart to make it believable. The age difference between the two leads was a bit hard for me to swallow, but the film was so much fun, I set that aside. We wished they had given the characters' romance a bit more time to develop. A few more scenes at the park, or a few more sunsets would have done the trick. There really was not a "moment", when we knew they had "fallen", but we can forgive that.
The storyline of rooting for a former pop store was funny, and engaging, and the fact that Sophie had, at some point, also lent her talent to someone else, and not really "risen" to her potential gave her "second chance" at self-recognition relevant for me. For both characters, they were on a journey of second chances, which provided for a cohesive story. We loved the scene at Madison Squae Garden, when Hugh Grant starts singing to Drew Barrymore, and Sophie's sister (from 3rd Rock), were definitely favorites.
I'd give it 5 stars, but the film's pace at times was very slow, and the characters' romance jumped the gun a bit, but overall, this film is highly recommended, not just for "chick flick night", but as a fun, high energy evening with friends. It was funny, romantic, and sincere. Great job by entire cast!
Movie Review: Great romantic comedy!
Summary: 4 Stars
First of all you have to realize that this is a romantic comedy with Hugh Grant and Drew Berryman, so lets not have any academy award expectations. Given that, lets do take it for what it's meant to be. A light, witty, easy going comedy that is somewhat believable scenario into an elaborate plot of a has been pop star trying to find his way back into the meaning of his existence (place in the world).
I enjoyed it the first time I watched it in the movie theatre with my girlfriend when it first came out. It definitely appeals to the older generations that grew up in the 70-80's. The opening is great, which is a mock up of Hugh being a pop star group. The chemistry between Hugh and Drew is awkwardly great and comical, which is purposely meant to be.
If you love music, singing (which Hugh isn't bad singing wise, dorky-corny sense of comedy, then this is great for your collection. It's perfect for one of those days where there's nothing to watch on tv or cable and you want to kill some time with a light comedy.
Movie Review: A movie for a couple, no more no less...
Summary: 4 Stars
Is a typical love movie, with a good storyline and some funny moments, like the POP musical video, you're going to watch it a lot, one because is fun and two because is really like an 80's video clip (resolution included)! The music of this movie is one of the aspects that is going to make you see the movie again, because is very sticky (that would make you to buy the soundtrack later...)!
At the end, is a good movie for a couple, but no for more or less. This because is romance, and how his romance is showed is ust for couples (well multiple couples can see it, but is not the same)!
