Movie Reviews of Music and Lyrics (Widescreen Edition)
Movie Review: not just a chick flick
Summary: 5 Stars
I love this movie. It is a bit girly, and is rather fluffy and cute... but it has multiple throw back moments to the 80s and is a very enjoyable way to pass the time. I bought this as a previously viewed DVD on sale at another store. I love this movie and recommend it to anyone who asks. It does have a little itsy bit of adult humor, and it will sail over the heads of the younger audience. IT is funny and sweet and is a romantic comedy. Have fun!!
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!Running Time: 104 min.Format: DVD MOVIEMusic 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
