Yikes! What were Hugh Grant and Drew Barrymore thinking when they signed on for this junk? Well, in Grant's case, he's lucky to get any roles these days, and I suppose Barrymore is always going to appear in fluff. Her name probably still has some marquee value as well. A washed-up '80s pop singer (Grant) is asked to write a song for a Britney-type pop star. Problem is, he only writes melodies, no lyrics. Along comes Drew B. as a cute-as-s-button fill-in greenskeeper who comes up with catchy lyrics on the spot. What a team they make! Things eventually go awry, of course, and we eventually crawl our way to a thoroughly predictable and cringe-inducing reconciliation ending. It's a chick flick, guys! Stay far, far away!
