Here's what Music & Lyrics had that the other movies either had in short supply or not at all: laugh out loud comedy. Like when you have to rewind something because you were laughing so hard at the joke that you missed what they said afterwards. And I have to say that it was utterly refreshing after the love stories aimed at the lonely girl. I mean, don't get me wrong, I am a sucker for lonely girl movies (I blame it on not having any of The Sex for a really friggen long time) this was just a change of pace from the seemingly similar films I've watched lately.
And an added bonus to this movie was the fact that Hugh Grant plays a "has been 80's pop star" complete with full music video shown at the beginning of the film. The music video alone is worth the rental fee.
In short? I really liked it. It was a good comedy with a twist of a love story. Enough so that you could actually watch this on a first or second date without the date becoming awkward. It has some very funny one liners thrown in excessively so it will keep you laughing enough that you won't realize until the next day when you are blogging about it that the story line was basically nonexistant. And that, my friends, is hard to do :)
It's a renter, not a buyer. And be ready for "POP goes my heart" to be stuck in your head :)
Look! The three Matthew McConaughey heads like it!
