Abysmal

Rating: 3/10 (19 February 2007)

Apart from a few smiles at the 80's video clip played at the beginning and end, this movie a joyless, laugh-less, abomination.
I saw The Holiday last week (another lightweight feel-good rom-com) and while that wasn't exactly brilliant cinema, at least it was vaguely enjoyable. Music and Lyrics does not contain ONE single good line and the characters are dreadful (especially Hugh Grant's - and I normally don't mind the guy.) No-one in our cinema laughed, even once, at anything Hugh or anyone else said, and it wasn't for lack of trying. I have never seen comedy bomb so badly.
Within 5 minutes of the opening video clip ending you will just KNOW you are in for a shocker, as the initial set up isn't funny, isn't plausible and gives you two leads that you do not care about.
I cannot stress how bad this film is and am AMAZED it gets 6.5.
