This a sweet, worth seeing movie

Rating: 7/10 (27 June 2007)

This is a sweet, worth seeing movie. You will like it. It will make you feel good and it has a few worthwhile messages in the storyline.
Hugh Grant comes over as an acceptable singer of his charming ditties and is brilliantly teamed with Barrymore. He had to learn to sing for the part, and learn to play piano. I liked the very English way he handled himself.
The only bad thing for me was the use of a huge Buddha on stage in a gawdy and sexy pop scene. As a Buddhist I found this affronting. People nowadays seem to have a thing about using Lord Buddha's image as a commercial decoration and I think it is disrespectful. Would they use Mohammed or Jesus Christ the same way? Other than that the movie was good
