Somewhat of a career rebirth, but most of all a discovery of love.

Rating: 5/10 (17 February 2007)

"Music and Lyrics" is overall a fine and OK fun-filled romantic comedy with a blend of laughs that doesn't take things serious, yet still entertains. You have Hugh Grant as a washed up 80's pop star trying to make a comeback, and by happens chance he meets a NYC freelance plant waterer who's played by Drew Barrymore and slowly the two hit things off. The Barrymore character helps out by working with an upcoming teen pop princess, who has lyrics to help out as the Grant character just needs to supply the music to make a hit comeback. Mostly thru this movie isn't just really about the music business even though it ends with a produced hit, it's a movie of a relationship that grows into love and caring from two characters that were down on their luck. Also the chemistry between Grant and Barrymore is just fine these two should work together more. Really this film is entertaining and a little fun, but nothing really serious or special.
