A Cute Film, But Can Be Predictable (SPOILERS)

Rating: 7/10 (16 June 2007)

I really had no intention in seeing this film. I was not really interested in seeing it, either. I still saw it, though, and I must tell you, this was a really sweet and heartwarming film. It was pretty predictable, though. You can easily predict most of the movie, but that does not matter, I enjoyed it. I do not really see any Oscars for this movie, unfortunately.
Here is the plot. Alex Fletcher is a singer from the eighties that tries to become a hit again by writing a song for huge pop superstar, Cora, who is basically Britney Spears. The only problem is that he can not write a good song. Then he meets Sophie Fisher, who came to his house to water plants. Her ex-boyfriend wrote a book about their relationship and ruined her life. He discovers that she is a great song writer. He persuades her to write a song for Cora with his help. She reluctantly agrees. They create the song, fall in love, and give the song to Cora. She loves it, but she makes some changes and makes it a weird Indian-techno-song. Sophie does not like the changes but Alex doesn't let her tell Cora because he thinks she'll get angry. Sophie gets angry at Alex for not letting her tell her. Then, on the day of the Cora's concert where she'll sing the Indian song, she sings the original. It turns out that Alex persuaded Cora to change the song at the last second. The movie has a happy ending, and it is revealed that Sophie and Alex live together now.
Overall, this is a very good and sweet film. It is actually very funny at times and is well acted by Hugh Grant and Drew Barrymore. Also, you should watch the credits to see some hilarious trivia facts, like Cora was married, and the party lasted nine hours, but the marriage lasted three hours. Anyway, I was highly impressed by this film, and like I said over and over, this is very sweet and nice and you should watch it.
7/10
