Hilarious in the beginning but terrible everywhere else

Rating: 3/10 (28 October 2010)

When this was on TV last year I decided to check it out as it starred Drew Barromore who I think is a great actress and I never saw it before so I decided to watch it. From the opening credits I was laughing so hard as it reminded me of the 80s English boy band Wham with George Micheal and Hugh Grant who is in this movie sings a parody called Pop goes my heart from a boy band that Hugh's character was in years ago.
The movie is about a washed singer/songwriter who is desperate to write a song for a young singer. Problem is he hasn't a clue what to write and with the help of a young woman who waters his plants the two begin to write music and (yes folks) love blossoms between the two.
What I didn't like about this film is that Hugh Grant is without a doubt the worst actor of our time. He can hardly act or sing right and his chemistry with Drew was kinda dull. Every time I watch this film I feel like I'm reliving the 1998 Rom Com The Wedding Singer which starred Drew Barromore with Adam Sandler. It had the same plot,same 80s vibe,different actors etc.
If you want to watch something that will make you laugh for a bit then do watch otherwise than that I wouldn't watch it again other than the hilarious opening which had me in stitches.
