Movie Review: Music and Lyrics

by Mary
 
Music and Lyrics is the best movie of 2007 so far. Hugh Grant shines as Alex Fletcher an 80’s pop star has been who is content singing at high school reunions, amusement parks and maybe appearing on a show called “Battle of the 80’s Has-Beens”. When he is given one week to write a hit song for teenage pop sensation, Cora, he seeks the help of unknown (even to herself) lyricist, Sophie Fisher (Drew Barrymore). The witty banter and clever jokes results in a hilarious love story. The onscreen connection between this dynamic duo is instant. Unfortunately it isn’t long until creative differences rise over their new song “A Way Back into Love”. And it turns into the classic “boy loses girl” story.

That Dynamic duo isn’t the only thing that makes this movie great. The soundtrack is full of catchy songs that everyone loves! The songs such as “Pop! Goes My Heart” and “Way back into love” are infectious and you will be singing them long after you leave the theater. This wonderful movie has been raved by critics everywhere and is playing in a theater near you!
