Way Back Into Love

Rating: 8/10 (11 June 2007)

To have inspiration to compose a song is not something easy, but you can do it if you have the will and dedication to it. Since little, i always wonder how difficult can be to compose a song. I always imagine it, but always i think that was a hard job because mixed music with lyrics its not so easy ... but you can do it, and "Music and Lyrics" proves it.
This new romantic comedy work with the old new formula of big comedies of today, simply that it uses well, and it is not exceeded with it, like in much cases. "Music and Lyrics" told the story of an 80s rocker in our days called Alex. He wants enjoy of success, he doesn't want that nobody forgets him. He must do something fast. He has a good offer by a new pop singer named Cora. She gives him the opportunity of compose a new song for her. But he should have the song in less than one week. He doesn't know how can do it. Suddenlly appears Sophie, a girl assigned to take care of his plants. She is very creative, and Alex need that creativity. So, Sophie decided, without any guarantee, to help him. "Music and Lyrics" is an entertaining comedy, not the best in its kind, but surely entertain and makes us remember that sticky music. The movie counts with a great Hugh Grant as Alex and Drew Barrymore as our beloved Sophie. With other good performances we have too Kristen Johnston, Brad Garret and Haley Bennet.
Are movies about rock bands and songs, but - at least me - i have not ever seen a movie about compose a song and its effects with the show business (Remember that "Theres no business, like show business") and i think that is marvelous. Although that don't play much 80s music like i think, the soundtrack here is very sticky and fun, as much of the situations that sometimes are so touching. If "Music and Lyrics" is another romantic comedy, is a good one, and an excellent choice to have some fun and tender situations.
*Sorry for the mistakes ... well, if there any.
