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
Customer Reviews
Average Rating: 
Rating:  - Utterly formulaic - and utterly delightful.
Hugh Grant is the floundering has been of the 1980s musical scene, now relegated to playing high school reunions and amusement parks. His talent as a lyricist has vanished.
Drew Barrymore is surprisingly good at the ditz substituting for the regular plant waterer. (Yes, plant waterer.)
Grant is offered the opportunity to write a new song for a pop tart rock queen, Cora Corman played by the drop-dead gorgeous and talented Haley Bennett.

Rating: - Catchy
I love the music in this movie! It makes fun of 80s and modern music equally. I like both Grant and Barrymore, but think they're an odd couple. Garrett is perfect in his role as the agent friend, as is Johnson as the 80s crazed sister. The music keeps getting stuck in my head. This is another good chick-flick night movie.
Rating: - Excellent
This DVD was in excellent condition and the story is a family favorite! Hugh Grant is hilarious and Drew Barrymore couldn't be cuter!
Rating: - How could you not love this?
I had very low expectations of this movie but was pleasantly surprised at this delightful little treat. It's Hugh Grant at his best. Drew Barrymore is perfect as the slightly wacky plant-sitter, Sophie, who ends up teaming with Alex to write a song for the newest, hottest, young singing star, Cora (think Britney Spears in the 90's).
Alex thinks the music is the most important part but Sophie tells him that the music is like when you first meet someone but the lyrics are the story, what you ... Read More
Rating: - Delightful and whimsical ... first movie I LIKE Hugh Grant in ...
Drew Barrymore is just a sweetie! I loved her in "50 first dates", "The Wedding Singer", and as the voice of the girlfriend in "Curious George".
Hugh Grant has always been cast in roles I just don't like - a playboy and an inconsiderate poop.
FINALLY Hugh Grant shows some glimmer of growing up (at least on screen)! He and Drew's character hook up and they eventually move in together (after the credits roll, of course).
In the meantime, however, he plays the ... Read More
