Just Plain Musical

Rating: 10/10 (20 February 2007)

I know that most people say this is the classic Hugh Grant movie, and I agree, but then again I don't. This movie was hilarious...and I definitely agree..the music is infectious. Even if you didn't live in the 80's or you were born in them and did miss a lot of the culture....take a listen to the big namers and then compare the Hugh Grant version. You'll find they run oddly similar. As if he was born for this role. As if he was born to dance and sing like a 80's pop star. Even though interviews blazing up the Internet say he did not like having to learn the moves and the songs...and more than that, to learn how to sing...he does a damn good job for what he says was a "fraud and charlatan" role. Barrymore and Grant's chemistry is pretty musical in and of itself.
