Movie trailer:
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!
*******************************
I love this movie, but then again, I've always loved this sort of romantic comedy, feel good, chick movie. Especially when it has Hugh Grant and Drew Barrymore. Both were at their best being funny, quirky and weird, not forgetting Grant's English sarcasm.
I do admit I have a thing for British actors like Rupert Everett, Colin Firth and Hugh Grant. I think it's in the accent and their ways in pulling a dry joke with a straight face.
The theme song, A Way Back Into Love is a hit. The movie started with a video clip of the song "Pop! Goes My Heart" by Alex's has-been group, Pop. This one was crazy funny with it's 80's theme that brings back Duran Duran, A-Ha and Frankie Goes To Hollywood to mind... I just couldn't stop laughing watching this.
Here's the song A WAy Back Into Love sang by Hugh Grant and Drew Barrymore in the movie
