graciego Then charming romantic comedies are just not your thing. The opening music video send-off of 80s boy bands is worth the price of admission. Hugh Grant seems to have no problem poking fun at himself. And coming from a family of professional musicians, I love the inside joke about the grand piano. (People come into his apartment and want to off-load their baggage on top of it , a no-no.) The entire cast - who doesn't love Drew Barrymore? - and the whole movie stands up to repeat viewings.

justkrepper The come back is a great movie which tells a sweet and modern love story.Hugh Grant is hilarious (especially when he starts swinging his hips) Obviously we would all love to see Hugh Grant performing on stage a love song destined to us, what an amazing moment it would be! Drew Barrymore is so lucky.It feels good to reconnect with the 80's, plus the musics are surprisingly very good (I can't stop singing "I said I wasn't gonna lose my head, but then pop! Goes my heaaaarrttt...)I spent a very good moment watching this movie which gives us an idea of how hard can the music industry be.Morality of the story: you never know where and how love can strike!

Davis P Music and Lyrics is an entertaining, sweet romantic comedy. Drew Barrymore is a very good actress for this particular role. And I loved Hugh grant playing opposite Barrymore. The romantic chemistry between them is great, starts out as just friends working on music together, but of course their connection turns into a romantic relationship. I also really loved Kristen Johnston in her supporting role. She was actually one of my very favorite parts of the whole film. She is just absolutely hilarious. I loved the comedic lines the script provided her with, and the way she delivered them was done with great timing. That's one thing I love about the script for this movie, it provides it's actors with effective comedic lines. I loved the Buddhist Britney Spears like pop star in the film, she gave a lot of good material for comedy, she wasn't all that funny herself, but like I said, she gave funny material to other characters, how people reacted to what she did was the real comedy. All in all, this rom com is humorous, especially if you were alive and can remember the 1980s. I of course was not, but I still found it funny. It's just that you will probably be able to relate more effectively to everything if you were in the 80s. 7/10

moonspinner55 Hugh Grant acquits himself admirably in this half-hearted music biz satire-cum-romantic comedy, which has too many targets, too few jokes and totally unreal characters. A 1980s pop music has-been, a singer/keyboardist once part of a bubblegum outfit called PoP, has recently been commissioned to write a song for the reigning teen-queen on the charts; he likes the randomly delivered lyrics thought up by his substitute 'plant waterer' and they form a songwriting partnership. Drew Barrymore's gregarious personality would appear to be the perfect counterpoint to Grant's dry witticisms, but the dim brand of 'cute' writing here leaves Barrymore stranded. She attempts to fall back on her patented charm and pluck, yet this is the kind of silly screenplay wherein her Sophie Fisher can quickly rattle off rhyming sentences yet suffers a complete block when faced with her nemesis (a best-selling author who...oh, never mind). The strongest aspect of the movie turns out to be the songs, which have an authentically retro feel and almost manage to convince us that Grant could have been another Andrew Ridgeley. *1/2 from ****
