Music and Lyrics (English, 2007)

Something sweet! Something lovable!

Music and Lyrics is the story of a has-been pop singer Alex Fletcher (High Grant), who has got a chance to revive his career but for which he has to write a song and he doesn't have a lyricist. He finds a lyricist in Sophie Fisher (Drew Barrymore). The movie is them writing a song (music and lyrics) together and in the process helping each other with personal issues and finding love in each other.

Music and Lyrics brings back the same feel-good comic-romantic style of films that we know Hugh Grant for. Surprisingly, a movie has a freshness to it which makes you feel happy. The premise of matching music and lyrics to make a song gives us a movie which reminds us why the words 'musical' and 'lyrical' are terms of praise. With good performances from both Hugh Grant and Drew Barrymore, this movie is worth watching.

Recommendation - Go for it.
