PoP! There goes Music & Lyrics

Every once in a while when you go to the movies to see a romantic comedy (or, as I prefer to call them: feel good movies), hopes are high but not always met.

But when three veterans of feel good flicks, Hugh Grant, Drew Barrymore and Marc Lawrence (ever heard of Miss Congeniality films? He wrote them) join their forces to make Music and Lyrics, I just had to see myself if it was worth it.

It indeed was. When I go to see a movie, I want to enjoy myself, laugh, feel connected with the characters and their situations in a way or another and then, when the movies is above the average, something extra. That X factor, which some films have. Best of them come with a heart and a soul.

Hugh Grant and Drew Barrymore play a team, a forgotten popstar and woman who waters his plants, who are brought together by a chance and writing together a hit song for a current popstar. Then talented actors such as these two are brought together, one can be sure that the acting itself is guarateed (and Brad Garrett and especially Kristen Johnston play hilarious sidekicks), just the plot and its twists are the mystery.

I won't reveal the huge surprises of the film, but I'm sure that all the people who enjoy the feel good/romantic comedy genre in general, will find Music and Lyrics heart-warming, joyful and fully enjoyable experience. It has its funny moments (more than usually, I might add), its musical numbers and topical parody, which makes it unique combination.

Music and Lyrics has more to offer to its viewers than the trailer, the title or synopsis promises, which is always exciting. And that's what I want to find when I make my choice and head to my seat for about an hour and fortyfive minutes.
