Refreshingly pleasant ...

Rating: Null/10 (31 December 2007)

Every once in a while, it's good to see a movie that's simply pleasant to watch. Yes, it is formulaic, simplistic and even a little flawed. However, the story's context of pop music and lyrics is refreshingly interesting to watch.
The story centers around a largely forgotten pop icon of the 1980s. He is given an opportunity to write a song for a current teen pop star - only he can't come up with lyrics. Surprisingly, the girl who comes in to water his plants seems to have a gift for that sort of thing.
Even though the songs aren't perfectly performed and Grant doesn't have as many snappy remarks as usual, this movie seems to hold it's own charm. The story and characters are fun to watch and the pop music melodies are pretty good.
If you're looking for something innocent and entertaining that is not a kid's movie, this is a good choice. like about it.
