Music and Lyrics (Full Screen Edition)

I smiled all through this movie. I love that they all really sang all the songs. (Maybe Hugh Grant also played the piano?) The music was perfect, especially the '80s tunes, and the chemistry was good. Check out the long-running (most of the movie) gag about putting stuff on the piano. Not only does this feel very authentic, but the writers never felt the need to mention it or over-focus on it. It plays so much better that way!

I had ordered 3 separate, used dvd's of this movie off of Ebay. They all froze about halfway through. I thought maybe it was a production issue. So, I broke down and ordered a brand new one and had no problems. I was a little nervous, though, when a coupon for a free viewing of another movie was included (from 2007). Apparently 2007 was a good year for this particular burning.Love this movie as it pokes fun at 80's pop and 80's has-beens. Stick around at the end for the VHS "Pop-Up videos" homage. It's really cute! And the music isn't half bad either. I understand that Hugh Grant did a lot of

Drew Barrymore is just a sweetie! I loved her in "50 first dates", "The Wedding Singer", and as the voice of the girlfriend in "Curious George".Hugh Grant has always been cast in roles I just don't like - a playboy and an inconsiderate poop.FINALLY Hugh Grant shows some glimmer of growing up (at least on screen)! He and Drew's character hook up and they eventually move in together (after the credits roll, of course).In the meantime, however, he plays the fading pop star. Drew (who is MUCH younger than his character) happens into his life and they are "lucky" enough to "bump" into each other an

Sweet, successfully witty as I found myself laughing along with them. Great job of creating a film that brings you in and makes you feel like they could be your neighbor or your friend. Adding to my list of favorite rom-coms. 4/5 not a 5/5 simply because the drama was more surface. Felt like it could have gone deeper.

Alright, I've seen much better movies with the similar plot of a washed up old timer musician having his/her second shot at a music career and at life. BUT, this movie stands out from that because of three reasons:1. It has a great soundtrack. Not many movies today accurately depict the culture from the 1980s and the music on this film is good enough to get you hooked.2. Acting chemistry is brilliant between Grant and Barrymore. I honestly can't expect more because both actors and the cast just plays out their roles beautifully. The script is also brilliant with timely humor. Plus, I get that

Great movie to pick up your spirits.

Really fun rom-com

Película comedia agradable. No la pude encontrar en otros sitios, y finalmente, aunque ha tardado mucho, la he encontrado por aquí. Recomendable
