So much fun!

Rating: 5/10 (1 July 2007)

I wasn't really expecting to like this movie as much as I did - I figured it would have a few laughs but ultimately be forgettable 5 minutes later, as are most romantic comedies. Not so with "Music and Lyrics." Not only did I enjoy the movie more and more as the plot progressed, but for days afterwards I've been singing the PoP songs as if I've known them since way back when... The chemistry between the main characters was nice and it just seemed like everyone was having so much fun throughout the movie I couldn't help but share in their excitement. I was also impressed with all the hard work put into this film - you wouldn't have guessed that Hugh Grant wasn't musical before this movie, the 80s video looked hysterically authentic, and there was not just one new/old hit for PoP written for the movie. Kudos to everyone involved in the film, and if you've been on the fence over this film (the previews make it look tepid), let me encourage you to give it a try!
