music and lyrics


(5/10)

I'm going to be completely honest.... I tried and tried to like this movie and even with the two loveable leads there was just nothing going on. Hugh Grant plays a failed pop star who is trying to jump start his career by writing a new song for the worlds hottest pop sensation ( Think Britney, Grant has been quoted as saying she was his inspiration ) and by chance one day his plant gardner waterer lady (Drew Barrymore) happens to inspire his lyric skills and he decides to use her to help him write the song. Lots of fluff ensues but while you're thinking this plot is somewhat original...it is....but nothing that makes it stand out or keep excitement. I was bored to the max. Also, this is NOT a chick flick but that doesn't make it anymore watchable. I would not even recommend this as a rental. Strictly for Hugh fans.
