Synopsis

Alex Fletcher (Grant--Two Weeks Notice) has been reduced to working the nostalgia circuit at county fairs and amusement parks. The charismatic and talented musician gets a chance at a comeback when reigning pop diva Cora Corman (Haley Bennett) invites him to write and record a duet with her, but there's a problem--Alex hasn't written a song in years; he's never written lyrics . . . and he has to come up with a hit in a matter of days. Enter Sophie Fisher (Barrymore--Lucky You), Alex's beguilingly plant lady, whose flair for words strikes a chord with the struggling songwriter. On the rebound from a bad relationship with the newly famous novelist Sloan Cates (Campbell Scott--Duma), Sophie is reluctant to collaborate with anyone, especially commitment-phobe Alex. Now, Alex and Sophie will have to face their fears--and the music--to find the love and success they both deserve.

    great popcorn movie

    06 December 2008
    Music & Lyrics is fun and enjoyable entertainment that hits above its weight in the heavily saturated and often mediocre territory of the romantic-comedy. Hugh Grant and Drew Barrymore are notably well casted and this enables the film to flow rather well. The film does linger here and there but it is a well-judged satirical look at the music industry. The music is great fun! 80s at its stereotypical, cheesy best... The intro track 'PoP! Goes My Heart' and 'Way Back Into Love' are surprisingly good and its a shame no original song nomination was forthcoming for either. Music & Lyrics does not pretend to be anything other than another rom-com and yet it surpasses itself in this regard. The film is a happy, feel-good picture Great to watch after a long day at work with some pop corn.
