DVD Review - “Music & Lyrics”

by Keith

GRADE: B+

Let me start off by saying that I loathe romantic comedies. I detest them with a passion. So I go into them with trepidation and unease, and seldom am I wrong. The genre is ripe with over sentimentality and preposterous “Three’s Company” like misunderstandings. It gets irritating watching either Kate Hudson, Sandra Bullock or Meg Ryan stumble through scenes that just bring woman back into the dark ages. But I digress, “Music & Lyrics” actually charmed me and won me over.

Drew Barrymore is the queen of the “rom-com” genre. Her awkward, clumsy and cute mannerisms have been winning hearts over for 2 decades now. With “The Wedding Singer”, “Ever After”, “Fever Pitch”, “50 First Dates” and “Never Been Kissed” have all been hits and some of my favorites of the genre. In “Music & Lyrics” she keeps the crown and steals more hearts with co-star Hugh Grant. Grant himself adds a level of charm and class that many of these kinds of movies lack.

I found myself giggling and rooting for their characters to get together in the end. The plot is believable enough to enjoy and the chemistry between Grant and Barrymore is spot on. “Music & Lyrics” is just plain cute, chicks will love this film more than their boyfriends, but the guys might be able to get sucked into it’s fun plot and cutesy vibe. Check this film out if you like the genre or are a fan of Barrymore’s, you will get a kick out of it.
