Music and Lyrics (2007)

I will recommend to you about one of the  best movie.

The movie’ name is “Music and lyrics.” It is a kind of Romantic movies I think. You can see some great stars/actors came from this movie specially, Hugh Grant, Drew Barrymore

Director Marc Lawrence’s romantic comedy gently satirizes the music industry’s past and present via Hugh Grant’s Alex Fletcher, a has-been Rock of the ’80s icon given another shot at the charts by young pop diva Cora Corman. Grant gives some surprisingly credible–if often gently tongue-in-cheek–performances in his musical debut; indeed, he carries better than half the soundtrack with his earnest vocal charms. The production gets key help from Fountain of Wayne’s Adam Schlesinger, who contributes a delicious, loving send-up of Wham! courtesy of “Meaningless Kiss,” the emotive piano confessional “Don’t Write Me Off,” and two versions of “Way Back into Love,” the comeback ballad/duet that drives the story line. A playful demo version of the latter pairs Grant with co-star Drew Barrymore (playing the florist who becomes Fletcher’s unlikely songwriting foil), while Grant’s ultimate duet with young Bennett evokes contemporary pop conceits with a keen, affectionate flair that also graces the young singer’s Britney-esque “Buddha’s Delight,” “Slam,” and the more obviously snaky “Entering Booty town.” Rounding out the collection are a pair of complimentary tracks by Swedish pop acts: The Sounds’ bouncy “Tony the Beat” and the club-slinky groove of Teddy bears’ “Different Sound.” Highlighted by Grant’s sympathetic vocals and a knowing musical sensibility that never quite lapses into mere parody, it’s a pop-lover’s delight from start to finish.

It was a great movie if you want to watch wherever you want. I’d like to recommend to you this movie  if you like to watch romantic movies.
