Music And Lyrics (2007) 7/10

Starring : Hugh Grant, Drew Barrymore, Brad Garrett, Kristen Johnston, Haley Bennett
Director : Marc Lawrence
Running Time : 105 mins

One time pop idol Alex Fletcher (Grant) is beginning to run out of the money made from his success twenty years earlier, so he jumps at the chance to write a new song for popular singer Cora Corman (Bennett). Now he’s faced with having to put lyrics to one of his melodies over the course of just a few days, so he eventually turns for inspiration to, of all people, Sophie Fisher (Barrymore), the woman who waters his plants.

This is a nice enough romantic comedy, which I was surprised to actually enjoy after hearing some very bad reviews about it. Granted, it’s nothing original, and doesn’t really push the boundaries in terms of surprising the viewer, but it’s still fun enough to watch on a Friday night if there’s nothing else on.
