Good Fun

Rating: 7/10 (15 July 2007)

Hugh and Drew were mismatched and hilarious in this movie. It was cheesy, offbeat and touching all at the same time. Hugh Grant had a few really funny lines, with his usual good delivery and Drew Barrymore was so bubbly and insanely weird.
It was a predictable film, but nonetheless worth a watch. The one-liners, the interaction between Grant and Barrymore, and the utterly ridiculous 'Cora' character (Haley Bennett) totally make it worthwhile. You'll recognize several characters from sitcoms like 'Everybody Loves Raymond' and 'Third Rock from the Sun'--How can you not laugh when you see 'Robert' and 'Sally'? I totally buy Grant as a has-been songwriter and Barrymore as a wordy scatterbrain.
This one was actually better than I thought--no disappointment here. This one's just good fun.
