Watching the movie Music and Lyrics is like reading a Harlequin Romance while listening to really bad music.I like Hugh Grant and I like Drew Barrymore. I even like them together. I just don't like them together in this movie.
Have you seen a commercial for this movie? If so, then you have seen all the good parts and you've heard all the good lines. Interesting, as I listened to the audience laugh, I noticed that they really only laughed at the lines that were in the commercial.
Sadly, as bad as the movie was, it still must have captured a small piece of my heart, as in the climax at the end - you know, the part where the Harlequin male lead truly captures the heart of the female lead by doing something totally romantic and unexpected (although everyone expects it) - I still shed a tear or two. I'm such a softy.

I like both actors but I think this will be one of those movies that I'll watch on HBO when Grumpy isn't home
The way you've written the review makes it all sound celebratory, LM.
And there you go crying again...
I hate both of them.
You gonna change your avatar for March?
Katy - Good idea. Definitely a chick flick - and a bad one, at that.
Susan - I know. I'm such a cry-baby.
Hippo - You hate everybody! Don't you like my avatar? Hadn't really thought about changing it. Too busy right now to fuss with something like that - report cards in less than two weeks.
I can wait for this on Netflix then. I love when you do your book/movie reviews! They are really helpful!
I like Drew alright and LOVED Hugh in "Love Actually".
Why would you change your Avatar? Did you just change it?? Besides, it ROCKS! Teehee
Lowa - I'm glad you like my reviews. It's been awhile since I've done a book review. They seem so much more involved than movie reviews for some reason. I've still been reading lots, just not writing about it.
I loved "Love Actually" too. We've actually let the boys watch it, while editing out "certain bits", you know.
Hippo always wants me to change avatars. He must get bored easily. Glad you like it.
