Check out the official site! (especially the music!)
Starring Hugh Grant, with his British charm turned full blast, and his pelvic thrusts ever so often being demonstrated on screen… He’s an instant charmer, acting as Alex Fletcher, a has-been musician in the once popular POP band. Now, he’s been hired by one of those BOA-like Hindi-cum-spiritual-cum-sexual pop singer to write a song within like a few days… He enlists the help of Sophie Fisher, endearingly played by Drew Barrymore (one of my personal faves) to write up the song. It’s a lovely little romantic comedy peppered with catchy songs. Both are able to sing pretty well too…
I really am going to keel over from fatigue soon, so I shall end this with a lovely quote from Sophie…
Music is like the passion and the sex… But lyrics, that’s when you get to know the person, you talk to them and you understand them…
(sorry couldn’t remember the exact words)
And the corniest quote ever, which I heard, only 3 people in the entire cinema caught on…
“I want to show you the roof! It’s upstairs!”
— Cora to Sophie, when Alex tries to drag Sophie home from the party…
