Winner

Rating: 8/10 (28 May 2007)

Wish I could give it 8.5, but, it is not quite a 9 but still a big winner.
Well worn plot: Cynical protagonist given impossible task and amateur Savant-like help overcomes odds and wins. And simply put. This movie pulls it off.
Acting is good. Most will cheer for the the characters to win. Many inside jokes about the 1980s music scene. Has to be seen twice to catch most of them.
I liked it and I am not big into the romantic part of romantic comedy.
Be sure to watch the credits for the "Pop Up Video" bubbles at the end telling the eventual fates of the characters.
Worth a rental and worth a buy.
