Anyhoo - Kristin and I left the guys at home and went to a chick flick this wonderful snowy afternoon. The theater was empty - my favorite time to go - and we shared a giant popcorn.
I adored Music and Lyrics. Hugh Grant is an 80s pop star has-been, and the beginning song and credits set the tone for the whole movie. I was laughing right off the bat. I don't think the writers could have done a better job. I love to hear Hugh Grant talk, and he delivers snappy quips magically and believably. Drew Barrymore is adorable as always, playing a quirky writer who hasn't been writing until she meets the songwriter who needs lyrics.
I will buy this as soon as it comes out on video, because it will be one of my favorites. Add this to my list of favorite romantic movies.
I wanted to go to that movie, I am glad to know it was a good one. I will be going soon. I have been busy writing the letter of recommendation that my boss should be writing me for. This is when I wish I was a writer and not a only a reader. I think with the help of my daughter I have a good paper to turn in for him to sign.
ReplyDeleteWell, Brenda, the good news is you can give yourself a really good recommendation! LOL
ReplyDeletethanks for review on movie with 2 of my favorite actors. Will go soon with lady client who I act as a companion for.
ReplyDeleteBrenda, send me a copy if you want any advice. I rewrote a couple for my son from his teachers when he was applying for a scholarship and he got it.
Thanks for the recommendation, Cher. I saw Bridge to Terabithia last week. I enjoyed it, but I must warn you... Take a Kleenex. :)
ReplyDeleteI also *loved* MUSIC & LYRICS! I'm a fan of '60s, '70s, and '80s music and musicians too, so I got a big kick out of it, and even enjoyed the music! I read Hugh Grant learned how to sing, dance, and play piano for the movie, and I thought he did a great job. I definitely want it when it comes out on DVD too.
ReplyDeleteYou can't be serious! I think he's a pretty darned good singer! Can't believe he'd never done it before. he had some moves, didn't he? LOL
ReplyDeleteSounds great-- I can't wait for it to come out on DVD! Hugh Grant singing must be like Gwyneth Paltrow singing in Duets-- loed the song she sang! Can't wait to hear him-- love Hugh Grant!
