DVD Reviews of Music and Lyrics [Blu-ray]

DVD Review: Music and Lyrics
Summary: 3 Stars

I had high hopes for this movie but found it slow at times and disappointing. Although it was not a total flop, I must say I expected must more. Our friend is a big Hugh Grant fan and was disaapointed as well.

DVD Review: Great romantic comedy!
Summary: 4 Stars

First of all you have to realize that this is a romantic comedy with Hugh Grant and Drew Berryman, so lets not have any academy award expectations. Given that, lets do take it for what it's meant to be. A light, witty, easy going comedy that is somewhat believable scenario into an elaborate plot of a has been pop star trying to find his way back into the meaning of his existence (place in the world).

I enjoyed it the first time I watched it in the movie theatre with my girlfriend when it first came out. It definitely appeals to the older generations that grew up in the 70-80's. The opening is great, which is a mock up of Hugh being a pop star group. The chemistry between Hugh and Drew is awkwardly great and comical, which is purposely meant to be.

If you love music, singing (which Hugh isn't bad singing wise, dorky-corny sense of comedy, then this is great for your collection. It's perfect for one of those days where there's nothing to watch on tv or cable and you want to kill some time with a light comedy.

DVD Review: A Great Movie
Summary: 5 Stars

Grant and Barrymore are excellent performers and most of their work is pretty good. There was a combination of superb acting, story line, and music that make this movie just so wonderful. The ensemble aspect with the other actors was also just the best. The on-screen chemistry between Grant and Barrymore was so significant, that one could believe that they were lovers in real life. The music is so warm and enduring. I have purchased both the movie sound track, sheet music, and movie DVD. Good job G&B!

Description of Music and Lyrics [Blu-ray]

First you're hot, then you're not...and then you're Alex Fletcher (HUGH GRANT). So when the sizzlingest tween-queen on the charts asks the has-been '80s pop sensation to write her a song, he grabs for another chance at stardom. Problem: Alex can say it with music, but he sure can't say it with words. Enter Sophie Fisher (DREW BARRYMORE), his beguiling if quirky plant lady, who has a green thumb for lyrics. Together, they go after songwriting success -- and discover that if you want to write the perfect love song, it helps to fall in love. With Hugh Grant and Drew Barrymore at the keyboard and Marc Lawrence (Two Weeks Notice) directing, Music and Lyrics is a witty, wacky romantic comedy that faces the music...and laughs!

Music and Lyrics is frothy and sweet, like the top of a perfect cappuccino shared a deux. Hugh Grant is a self-professed "happy has-been," playing his befuddled, adorable persona more spot-on than he has since Four Weddings and a Funeral. As Alex, former member of an '80s pop band who years later is playing at water parks and high school reunions, he's settled into a life of lesser expectations. Drew Barrymore, quietly radiant, is Sophie, the underachieving girl Friday who arrives to water--make that overwater--Alex's plants--and to explode him out of that comfy rut. If the plot's a bit farfetched, it matters not, since the two lead characters are so likable--and make such beautiful music together. Big bonus: the supportive role of Kristen Johnston as Rhonda, Sophie's older sis (and longtime Alex fan) whose hilarious performance threatens to steal the show whenever she's onscreen. (The owner of a chain of successful weight-loss centers, Rhonda tries to comfort a rattled Sophie: "Want to do some stress eating?") The film also marks the remarkable debut of Haley Bennett, who plays a pop star of Britney/Cristina proportions with deadpan sincerity radiating through her skimpy outfits and mega-extensions. As Alex and Sophie work on crafting musical magic, something else is taking hold. It's music to the ears of anyone needing a sweet romantic comedy that hits all the right notes. --A.T. Hurley
