Great Music

Rating: 8/10 (10 June 2007)

I enjoyed this movie very much. It was a nice little thing that required no thinking. I thought Hugh Grant was super. As always his character's wit and humor made me smile and laugh. But the biggest surprise (for me) was how much I enjoyed his singing. I liked the movie mostly for the music. The plot was cute, amusing, not complicated. The music, and the singing by Grant made the movie for me.
As always, Drew Barrymore added a nice touch. She worked well with Grant. A good combination. Just being herself, that is, her movie self, added a nice romantic softness to the story.
I liked the way the sex scenes were handled. There was no phony acrobatic lovemaking. No titillating glimpses of private feminine parts. And only one (though brief) passionate, wide open-mouthed kiss. I hate those scenes one sees in some movies; close-ups of wide open mouth, tongue lashing kisses along with clothed sex acts.
