ChanBot i must have seen a different film!!

Lumsdal Good , But It Is Overrated By Some

Twilightfa Watch something else. There are very few redeeming qualities to this film.

Taraparain Tells a fascinating and unsettling true story, and does so well, without pretending to have all the answers.

rmcne888 This was such a great movie with self-effacing humor, nostalgia, great likeable characters and really catchy music. As many times as I've seen it, I still tear up at the end.

metcigar Love the film. But, it has one scene (breakfast) which must have been filmed when the continuity person was terminated and before the new person was hired.Watch the scene. It was shot at least three times (possibly four) and cut together. Watch the plates, glasses, hands, sitting forward or sitting back, etc. All of this is screen center and by the primaries, not atmosphere. Seriously funny to watch. The largest number of continuity errors I have ever seen in a single scene.Other than that, the overall film is a fun watch.Oh, and don't stop watching... the story continues through the credit roll.

lossowitz "No pets or children" sounds a guideline for filmmakers, and for screenwriters it should be: "no creative problems or stage careers as a theme". Only a biopic can portray stage scenes and popularity on a level that is believable, just because that is what the audience knows about the subject: yes, this star was popular.The theme of this movie is arguably a love story, but with the title Music and Lyrics, the creative process of writing is at the center of the tale. From the start the love affair of the ex-POP! singer Hugh Grant and the wannabe writer Drew Barrymore follows the road of the romantic comedy, albeit that they need to "write the music and lyrics of their love themselves". There we have the first problem: any depiction of a creative process becomes tiresome, regardless of the many dead pan jokes Hugh Grant gets to make. Watching people try to rhyme or look for a song idea is watching... people try to rhyme or look for a song idea. It is like watching people work.Then we have the performances of the movies superstar Cora, which should be valued somewhere between Britney and Christina: but how on earth do you simulate a big, expensive, explosive pop concert without doing exactly that: staging a big, expensive, explosive concert? Well, you do it slightly cheaper, smaller and, not so explosive. And it shows. Yes, there is a large Buddha from where Cora emerges, but would Britney or Christina put up a whole show with just one large Buddha on stage? Ten different Buddhas maybe, and a pyramid, and a temple and a burning sky scraper. The audience knows what a superstar concert looks like, and is not easily convinced. The actors give it their best shot, and some even succeed, but all in all this is a perfect example for how a screenwriter best avoids depicting fictional popular concerts, and showing the process of creativity. They're implausible and tiresome, and both traits are ill- fated for a commercial movie, which a rom-com, with all its rules and clichés, is.

nadya puig This is the fourth time I see the comedy romance movie Music and Lyrics, but this is the first time I actually see it to write about the movie. For me, it was a pleasure watching this movie all over again, since comedy romance films are my favorite and, I consider myself a big fan of Drew Barrymore. I have seen most of her movies I love the way she acts "sweet and innocent" when it comes to comedy romance films. This American actress has not only started in over 50 movies, including a commercial for puppy food at the age of 11 months in 1975, becoming one of Hollywood's most recognized child actors, but also in the 1980s hit movie "ET". She has directed, screen written, produced, and model on several occasions. What I most liked about this movie in particular is that destiny was the cause of joining "Hugh Grant" as Alex Fletcher and "Drew Barrymore" as Sophie Fisher. On the other hand, we have Hugh Grant, an English actor and film producer who had his first leading role in 1987 in the movie, "Maurice". His break through performance though was in the 1994 film "Four Wedding's and a Funeral". Since then, he has started in over 30 films including my favorite "Nine Months" from 1995.The writer of this movie is Mark Lawrence, who himself directed the film in 2007. Marc Lawrence also composed a sound track for this movie titled "Love Autopsy". It's a short comic sound track, but it gives the film a very special touch. Lawrence has both written and produced movies like "Two Weeks Notice" (2002), and "Did You Hear about the Morgan's?" (2009) both in which "Grant" has started as the main character. Both these films are from the genre, comedy romance. This American screenwriter and film producer has also written films such as "The Out-of-Towners" (1999), "Miss. Congeniality" (2000) and "Miss Congeniality 2: Armed and Fabulous" (2005). His most recent movie is "Music and Lyrics" (2007).This film first came to the big screen on February 14, 2007. If I would've seen it on that date, I would've expected nothing less from this comedy romantic story. Like Tom Long from the Detroit News said, "Every valentines day should be blessed with a confection as fluffy, light and satisfying as Music & Lyrics, a cute movie filled with laughs and tunes and nothing too terribly serious to say". I couldn't agree with him more, these two characters, Grant as Alex Fletcher and Barrymore as Sophie Fisher live an adventure which at the end leads them to fall in love with each other. Even though it seems as just another love story, I perceived this love story very different from others that I have seen. I think this story was very original and not repetitions of other movies in which they only change the characters, but the story line is pretty much the same. This film brought back fond memories from my childhood in the 80's. I couldn't help but to go back in time and realize how much things have changed; from our cloths, music, and style of dancing. I must admit, it was a fun journey.Stephen Hunter from the Washington Post says, "I don't think the ending is up to the rest of the movie, but Grant and Barrymore are great together, and the movie has both, zing and song". I agree with Hunter, when you have two very talented actors like Grant and Barrymore you can't help but have a great movie, but ending with the song that they both wrote was a must. The song played a crucial role but ending with this romantic melody titled "Way Back in Love" gave the movie the final twist. Like in any movies when you have a man, and a woman faced with a problem, falling in love is inevitable. What gives this movie the perfect ending is the song they wrote together because that's exactly what happens with Fletcher and Fisher; they fall in love all over again.
