Music and Lyrics'
UK Rated: PG
Runtime: 104min 2secs
Written & Directed by: Marc Lawrence
Plot Outline
A washed up 80's singer (Hugh Grant) from a yesteryear band called POP is desperately seeking a comeback. Such an opportunity rises when he is given a couple days to compose a chart-topping hit for an admiring teen sensation who happens to be a fan. It dwells upon him at this point that he's never written lyrics in his life. By the mystery that is fate, he sparks with an offbeat quirky young woman (Drew Barrymore) with a flair for watering his plants to death and an uncanny way with words, which may just be the answer to his needs.
Overall Impressions:
It's a Hugh Grant flick, so you expect fluff & very British humour with a fumbling bumbling ponce making an idiot of himself but entertaing us while he's doing it. Thankfully, this is precisely what we get. I do think this is huge a step up from Marc's previous venture: Two Week's Notice, this time the director/writer really gets it right. In particular what stood out to me is the dialogue between Hugh & Drew seemed totally natural. An unlikely pairing in my opinion but it works very well. The creative process of getting together some 'music and lyrics' too had its own charm on me, call me a sucker but it touched my heart when they spoke of the dependencies between them.
