Summary: It does what it should, and is good for the heart, the soul and the funny bone
Comment: The key to this movie is quite simple, really. You take two incredibly talented dramatic and comedy actors, a fantastic script, great music, a wonderful cast of supporting actors and a non-stop emotional roller coaster and you make a movie.
Why rate this romantic comedy 5 stars? Because I can't rate it 10! It does what a movie is supposed to do, it MOVES you. You laugh, you sigh, smile, cross- your-fingers - there isn't one person who hasn't gone through some if not all of the emotions this movie elicits. These talented people make characters which touch your heart. That's what movies are supposed to do. Fabulous!
Customer Rating: Summary: Utterly formulaic - and utterly delightful.
Comment: Hugh Grant is the floundering has been of the 1980s musical scene, now relegated to playing high school reunions and amusement parks. His talent as a lyricist has vanished.
Drew Barrymore is surprisingly good at the ditz substituting for the regular plant waterer. (Yes, plant waterer.)
Grant is offered the opportunity to write a new song for a pop tart rock queen, Cora Corman played by the drop-dead gorgeous and talented Haley Bennett.
You can guess the rest. Grant needs to come up with lyrics in a few days . . . and Barrymore is a natural. Boy meets girl and all that.
It all works out in the end, of course.
This is just a sweet, utterly predictable romance made remarkable by the excellent performances by Grant and Barrymore and the extraordinary presence of Bennett. Just a lot of fun.
