Good casting

Rating: Null/10 (10 January 2016)

For me it got off to a rocky start but settled down into a gentle romantic comedy.
There are no surprises here, it is fairly predictable fare. But is has it's charms. The leads work well together; indeed they are the heavyweights of their chosen genre: light and fluffy stuff; I don't think either Drew Barrymore or Hugh Grant have ventured beyond light entertainment; but perhaps that is a good thing; it's where they belong; neither seem to have other aspirations.
I thought that the casting was near perfect; the peripheral characters were very believable. I particularly liked the agent(the older brother in Everybody Loves Raymond) and the young singer Cora, who represents everything you can imagine in a young modern pop star. I also liked Justin Timberlake's near cameo (he certainly gets around), he doesn't mind taking the mickey out of himself, though I felt he could have pushed it a little more for comic effect.
Definitely one for a relaxing time, when you don't want to use your brain-power.
