Best Romantic Comedy in Years!

Rating: 9/10 (11 January 2008)

Hugh Grant & Drew Barrymore? Surely they must've combined every Hollywood actor/actress together & these 2 together are just an amateur attempt to bring in a different demographic. But I actually liked these 2 together, they're both really funny & they're both really likable, together some people were scared they were going to be nor funny nor likable but I think it turned out quite the opposite. But Kristen Johnson really is the shining star as very comedic sister of Barrymore's.?
The story was just your average guy-meets-gal story but with a twist thrown in..... music! Washed-up has been (Grant) is given a chance for a comeback by writing a song for international teen pop-star but needs to find a good lyricist to do so, as such he finds Sophie (Barrymore) who waters his plants & has a natural talent for songwriting. The two stay up late nights writing this song bonding & learning more about each other, then in a twist-of-fate they end up as bedfellows which all leads to the inevitable rom-com couple fight which just brings them back together stronger in a predictable but enjoyable happy ending.?
If you are frustrated with films like this, maybe you should avoid it. But Music and Lyrics is a very fun, very funny & very romantic nice light-hearted comedy that will definitely entertain most. It is not trying to be an epic Oscar-winner & for what it is, it is a very great film. And I must admit it has some very catchy tunes in it!
