Movie Reviews of Music and Lyrics (Widescreen Edition)
Movie Review: See it Already
Summary: 4 Stars
I saw this in the movie theater and loved it. I was happy with the price on amazon and I didn't hesitate to add it into my collection. I rated it 4 stars because I loved it but if I was going with the movie rating system then I'd say it was a three star movie.
I was never a fan of Hugh Grant before but I found him funny and charming in this movie. There was great chemistry between him and Drew Barrymore. I honestly thought Hugh Grant stole the show. He's funny as a 80s popstar has-been. The songs are all original and they're fantastic. I'm even considering buying the soundtrack which is something I rarely do.
Haley Bennet was good as Cora Corman although her acting left a little to be desired but based on her IMDB profile, this was her first feature film, so kudos for her, she held her own against Hugh Grant and Drew Barrymore.
What else I can say? Yes it's true the movie is predictable, but you're in for a treat: the cast was well chosen and I knew I would like this movie the moment they showed the 'music video' in the opening credits, so see it already.
Summary of Music and Lyrics (Widescreen Edition)
First you're hot, then you're not...and then you're Alex Fletcher (HUGH GRANT). So when the sizzlingest tween-queen on the charts asks the has-been '80s pop sensation to write her a song, he grabs for another chance at stardom. Problem: Alex can say it with music, but he sure can't say it with words. Enter Sophie Fisher (DREW BARRYMORE), his beguiling if quirky plant lady, who has a green thumb for lyrics. Together, they go after songwriting success -- and discover that if you want to write the perfect love song, it helps to fall in love. With Hugh Grant and Drew Barrymore at the keyboard and Marc Lawrence (Two Weeks Notice) directing, Music and Lyrics is a witty, wacky romantic comedy that faces the music...and laughs!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
