Review: Music and Lyrics
Pop. That’s the main word here. As in pop music, short in longevtiy, and quick in forgettability. All that because the story is simple and strings of possible punchlines serve as dialogue. That leaves you with Hugh Grant’s physical antics as a way to make you laugh, and that just doesn’t work. The music and lyrics can’t hold it together either, being cheesy is the highest praise available here.
If you like Drew Barrymore and you want a bit of music in a romantic comedy, just go for a The Wedding Singer re-run.4½.
