Film Review Pt2

Music & Lyrics

A washed up singer (Grant) is given a couple days to compose a chart-topping hit for an aspiring teen sensation. Though he's never written lyrics in his life, he sparks with an offbeat younger woman (Barrymore) with a flair for words.

Starring: Hugh Grant & Drew Barrymore

I absolutely loved this film, Hugh and Drew play the perfect characters and the film is so easy to watch and really funny. Hugh Grant took singing and piano lessons to play the 80's pop character, and this really shows. His singing isn't great but seeing him dance is hilarious. The story is focused around a 80's pop star who was once part of the duo whose singing partner has gone onto better things loosely based on the story of Wham. Drew's character is a scatty plant waterer, who has a talent for writing lyrics. From then on in, it's the usual boy meets girl, boy and girl fall in love, boy and girl stuff it up, then boy public declares his feelings to get girl back and boy and girl live happily ever after.

My rating:
