i can see and hear Music & Lyrics on Broadway and the theaters

Rating: 10/10 (21 July 2007)

i rented the DVD just a few days ago. the moment i PoPed in the DVD and hit 'play'.. i started laughing with the 'Pop! Goes My Heart' music video.. what went thru my head was on the spot was.. the music video's a great concoction of AHa, Wham! mixed with Duran Duran.. and Hugh definitely makes a great Simon LeBond clone!! I was a Hugh, sorry HUGE fan of Duran Duran during the 80's and i adored Simon LeBond, so u can imagine the joy of 'seeing' him come back as Hugh Grant!! LOL also, the part in the music video where Hugh was dreaming of him and his girlfriend under the rainbow was hilariously, mainly because of the their facial and physical exaggerations!! :)) Speaking of Wham! Collin Thompson, played by Scott Porter, really reminds me of a George Michael look-alike and Hugh Grant... perhaps the more forgotten Andrew Ridgeley...
anyway, there isn't a song in this movie that i didn't like, so hats off to Marc Lawrence and his team of writers and songwriters..
now here's the clincher >> 1. this movie has the potential of Grease1 and Grease2, so hint to the producers of this movie.. have a Music and Lyrics 2.. with the same humor and great songs.. i remember Grease2 was also a great hit like Grease1, except they replaced Olivia Newton-John with Michelle Pfeiffer. Don't do that with Music and Lyrics, keep Hugh Grant and Drew Barrymore as they are, but spice it more, with them writing more songs together as a couple with some ups and downs (as required in movie plots etc..), whatever, the team of wonderful writers can think of something.. do it!! It'll be a great hit again, i'm certain.
2. Next, make this movie into a Broadway theater production.. i can see the stage productions of Cora on stage with the gigantic Buddha!! And have 2 characters play Alex Fletcher. A younger one to do the 'Pop! Goes My Heart' music video and the older Alex Fletcher to do the acting. This Music & Lyrics musical will be a hit, again i'm certain, 'cos the music is memorable, and had us humming and singing the tunes and bits of singing the lyrics (as much as we can hold in our heads without reviewing the subtitles on DVD!!) Well done!! Music and Lyrics has held my attention throughout the whole movie. It was hilarious from the beginning to the romantic end backstage!! Bravo!! BRAVO!! and please start planning some kind of ENCORE!! Cheers!! P.S. i wasn't sure i was gonna like Music & Lyrics at first (that's why i didn't catch it at the movie theaters, and recently picked up the DVD at the video rental store), 'cos i wasn't a big fan of Two Weeks Notice (also by Marc Lawrence). But Marc Lawrence has out done himself this time. So all is forgotten about Two Weeks Nottice. :) of course, now i'll be heading to the stores to buy a copy of the DVD, for my own library!! Loved the extras in the DVD too, so well-done to the DVD production team.
