A former member of a popular '80s band, Alex Fletcher (Hugh Grant), has been relegated to playing for high school reunions on Long Island when he is asked to write a song and perform a duet with pop star Cora (Haley Bennett) at Madison Square Gardens. This could be the turning point in Alex's career. But, there is a problem: Alex is good with melodies but just cannot compose lyrics. Help comes in the form of Sophie (Drew Barrymore) who arrives at Alex's apartment to water the plants. She agrees to collaborate on the song, and the fun and romance begin. 2 User Reviews

| | Ten is probably too old. | 1fatts 12/02/2007 | The friendliest review I read said something to the effect of "anyone who likes this kind of movie will probably like this movie." The truth is I like this kind of movie: an innocuous romantic comedy with charming leads. And I do find Drew Barrymore charming; I really do. I liked Ever After, even though her British accent was occasional at best. I liked 50 First Dates, even though she only had to act as though she had forgotten yesterday's pages. And she is charming in this. I guess so is Hugh Grant, who is probably getting a little long in the tooth for the stammering-with-a-shy-smile young man. But he was cute enough as well. There was just nothing to hang this fleeting charm upon. The movie ran out of plot 45 minutes before it ran out of film. The Music was poor; the Lyrics were worse.
In her review of this film, Rebecca says: "This movie is very funny. Everybody 10 and older should see this movie." I assume Rebecca is nine or ten. With all due respect to her judgment here, I think: 9 maybe; 10 is probably too old. |
| | Rebecca 03/11/2007 | | This movie is very funny. Everybody 10 and older should see this movie. It has some great scenes. Music and Lyrics is also great for people who like to sing and dance! I suggest everybody should stop by their nearest movie theatre and see Music and Lyrics! |
