Definitely a good evening's entertainment!

Rating: 10/10 (24 February 2007)

To be honest, when Drew Barrymore first made the scene not that many years ago, I wondered if she was up to the job of carrying the family banner. Just goes to prove that genetics will come through if you give it half a chance. Her performance in this film is magnificent! Music and Lyrics is a thoroughly enjoyable movie, a good script, well cast, and capably acted by both Barrymore and always dependable Hugh Grant. (Every mother's favorite husband material.) There's enough comedy to keep it light, yet enough everyday relational drama to keep it interesting, and above it all it's a feel-good story. My wife and I both loved it, and agreed as we left the theater that it was an IMDb 10. Hope you feel the same way.
