DVD Reviews of Music and Lyrics (Widescreen Edition)
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!DVD Review: Music and Lyrics

Summary: 4 Stars
Despite being a romantic comedy, Music and Lyrics is refreshing and funny. Drew Barrymore is warm and likeable as Sophie and Hugh Grant is charming as cynical has-been, Alex Fletcher. Alex and Sophie's connection feels real, as we actually see them get to know each other and learn to relate to each other, unlike some rom-coms, where the heroes fall in love over playfull banter alone. The conflicts between them are also real, instead of feeling contrived, and the lessons that each learn are believable and relatable. By the end of the movie, we are definitely rooting for them to reach their full potential, both individually, and as a couple. I like the fact that, despite dealing with the glamorous music industry, this is a normal, "average person" story. The final resolution is not a grand gesture to sweep the heroine off her feet. It is just heartfelt honesty from Alex to Sophie. The good acting, the romantic story, and great music make this movie a keeper.
The only thing that stops me from giving it a full five stars is that I am not a huge fan of the romantic comedy genre, in general.
DVD Review: great movie

Watched this movie with the girls, and we all loved it. A great love story.
Description of Music and Lyrics (Widescreen Edition)
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
