Music and Lyrics (2007)



can't help it; I'm a sucker for romantic comedies. couple that with Hugh Grant and Drew Barrymore in the lead and you can expecting something really nice. i did and i'm not disappointed. Music and Lyrics is the perfect movie to soothe your nerves after a hard day's work. It flows along effortlessly with typical performances from Grant and Barrymore. There's delightful on screen chemistry between them and that goes a long way to show how important casting is. I mean, here's a movie that has a done to death basic theme; it's the actors that give it life. Hugh Grant seems to specialize in self-abasing roles and Drew Barrymore in hare-brained ones. Its a cute combination and it works here.


Nothing much else to mention here. Not a movie to be dissected for technicalities. Watch it and observe a smile appear on your lips. simple :)

Concept 7/10
Performance 9/10
Screenplay 8/10
Technical 8/10 ( 8 is kinda my average rating, started too high, u see)

Overall 8/10
