Musical comedy fun

Rating: 6/10 (2 January 2011)

Hugh Grant has and could quite easily make films like this for the rest of his career. And to be fair to the man he does them well and they appeal to a wide audience.
This is a sharp and funny romantic comedy in which Grant is allowed freedom to do everything that he does so well. He has great romantic support from Drew Barrymore and the always welcome sight that is Brad Garrett who steals many a scene.
The music in which the film is set around is fine and although this film will never win any big time awards it remains a decent film that can be enjoyed by a large amount of people all over the world. It has a good heart and a message behind it. Critics are always looking for smart and sophisticated films and while thats fine it means that they overlook simple and effective films such as this one.
