Movie Review: Music and Lyrics

I thought the movie was all around great. It's not my favorite but it had some very funny moments. I love when Hugh Grant spills his heart out about some insights and Drew comes back and says " I didn't expect that, especially from someone who wears such tight pants." and Hugh replies, "it forces all the blood to my heart." It was really the witty banter that saved this movie. I didn't really feel the chemistry between Drew and Hugh. They seemed more like friends than lovers. Not like Ricci and Macavoy in Penelope. Their acting was so good you wondered if it was really acting. The way Macavoy looks into Ricci's eyes still stops my breathe every time I watch it. But this review is about Music and Lyrics. It had a wonderful commentary on todays stereotypical pop princess through the character of Cora. It really does make me wonder if strippers and half naked teeny boppers will be at the center of the middle school generations' entertainment from now on. We cringe when we hear that some child was caught with pornography yet music videos go on unchecked. Music and Lyrics was also a wonderful anecdote on how no matter how different people are if you stick them in a room long enough and they are even remotely attractive, they will fall in love. People don't understand that love is not some little magic moment. Love, true love that is, is like a seed that we plant and grow with the water of our time and the sunshine of our words. Attraction is merely how fertile the ground is that we are planting the seed of our love into, but any plant can grow with the right attention.
