Nice change, good music. Enjoyable!

Rating: 8/10 (23 June 2007)

It's always a delight to see Drew Barrymore and this was a good matchmaking with Hugh Grant. The guy's got some notes within him; surprising.
I really enjoyed this movie, especially the music, being an eternal eighties fan. It was hard to get used to all that but-shaking from Grant who looked way out of his waters, and I couldn't believe it was really his voice until I double checked to be sure; but all in all, he did a great job. Drew's performance was as always perfect. Without her, this movie with any other actress, would have been boring really.
I thought the story was well developed, I liked most of the lines, didn't like some of them. One thing I wish they would have added in the script, was a part where Sophie finally manages to tell what she really thinks and feels about Sloan to his face. I mean, Alex did manage to tell Cora what he thought about the song. But, anyway, not much harm done there.
For all POP fans out there, watch this movie; rockers and hip-hop dudes, sleep time.
