Music and Lyrics

Music and Lyrics -one very good movie that I saw today,even though I was supposed to studying for improvement exams..Boy! I'm such a procrastinator.

Its about how a forgotten music legend kicks back into action .The film starts off with the Pop group singing its hit record..At the onset everything looks kinda funny- the way hugh is portrayed as some 'elvis presely' weirdo !! Lol ..Was that funny!!!Drew Barrymore(Sophie Fisher) andAlex Fletcher( Hugh Grant ) (swoooooonnn !) may seem like a strange pair..Not that her hair looks totally lovely and Hugh grant looks totally *** No words out here!! :)
Seriously I didn't think Drew can sing : well She sings okay and hugh (swoooooon) too ! :D
This is one movie which kept me hanging till the credits rolled over..mainly because the song -pop goes my heart was played !!
All the tracks in the movie are good..The movie script is great ,I liked it

One really impressive dialogue in the movie:
Alex Fletcher: It doesn't have to be perfect. Just spit it out. They're just lyrics.
Sophie Fisher: "Just lyrics"?
Alex Fletcher: Lyrics are important. They're just not as important as melody.
Sophie Fisher: I really don't think you get it.
Alex Fletcher: Oh. You look angry. Click your pen.
Sophie Fisher: A melody is like seeing someone for the first time. The physical attraction.
Alex Fletcher: I so get that.
Sophie Fisher: But then, as you get to know the person, that's the lyrics. Their story. Who they are underneath. It's the combination of the two that makes it magical.

To be very honest,the movie isn't all that great...But the end part where he sings to her (putting the whole realtionship in a song) O-M-G !! that is sensational!! I can watch that part over and over again!! :)
Thing I learnt from the movie:
Its hardwork being a successful lyricist
The answer to the question - Music/Lyrics?
Hugh grant makes my heart skip a beat :P

3.75 stars :) and a big Thumbs Up from my lounger
