Not quite romantic, but funny as hell.

Rating: 10/10 (2 August 2009)

I am a fan of Hugh Grant films. From Notting Hill to Bridget Jones, i'm always willing to see a Grant film. Music and Lyrics is probably his best besides Love Actually. Grant plays Alex Fletcher, an aging popstar who is still performing but can't make anything new. He used to be in a band called Pop. One day he is called down to a recording studio to meet with Cora(Haley Bennet). Cora is pretty stupid. In the film she says stuff like " I want to show you the roof it's upstairs". She wants him to write something new. She also needs it to be done within a week. So Alex goes looking for song writers and finds one named Sophie(Drew Barrymore). She is a plant waterer with a troubled past. Music and Lyrics is a very funny film. I've laughed every time i've seen it. I'm not sure if the film is very romantic but I think Hugh Grant and Drew Barrymore are brilliant together. The film makes my favorites list. I left out a couple of people who are in it. Brad Garret form Raymond stars as Chris Reilly, Alex's manager. Who has a few funny lines. Also Kristen Johnson from Third rock from the Sun stars as Ronda, Sophie's sister, who was a very big fan of Pop. Do you know what's sad? I've seen this film so many times that I actually remember the characters names. Music & Lyrics is a ton of fun.
