Valentines Day was such a bore despite of all the hype about the pink chaddis , the moral policing & what not. So at the end of the day I decided “why not at least watch a nice light hearted romantic movie” After all what better day to watch a romantic movie than on Valentines Day? .So I looked through my movie collection & found MUSIC & LYRICS, which I’ve been meaning to watch since a long time but somehow never managed to do so. So I decided that the day had finally come.
As you all know it’s a movie starring Hugh Grant & Drew Barrymore. The movie opens with a hilarious music video of the catchy number POP. It’s supposed to be a pop boy band from the nineties of which Hugh Grant is a member who call themselves POP singing their hit number POP he he… It’s all that simple! Right after the number the scene shifts to the present day where Grant is a “has been” coz the lead singer of the band ditched the group many years ago to launch a multimillion dollar solo career. It now leaves Grant trying to promote events, music albums of the new generation willing to compromise all his ideologies & passion for his music. Drew Barrymore is his “plant girl” who has problems of her own involving her past love life, who eventually turns his lyricist. Brad Garrett (from the EVERYBODY LOVES RAYMOND fame) plays the role of Grants agent who supports his career no matter what but at the same time pushing him to do small time events to bring in the cash flow.
As always Hugh Grant is brilliant playing his part, you can’t help but smile at his straight faced humor & his Elvis styled hip shaking dance is just too funny. Drew Barrymore is delightful & so refreshing to watch in every scene. I wish Brad Garrett who plays Grants agent had a bigger role coz he’s one of my favourites. For me the song “Way back into love” was simply amazing. It’s the core of the movie since the movie revolves round the making of the song & ends with the same. You got to listen to it for sure if you haven’t done that already. The movie actually ends even before you know it & somehow you are left wanting more. Its not a masterpiece by any stretch of imagination but the wonderful combination of words & melody (as Drew puts it in then movie) will make you smile. Don’t wait for a Valentines Day to watch it
