The DVD Buff

Music and Lyrics, a romance comedy

Once in a while, a little romantic comedy is alright. I mean come on, I’m a girl, how could I not like that genre :). Tomorrow, Music and Lyrics releases to DVD. And I have mixed feelings about it. From the previews that I’ve seen, it looks pretty stupid. Kind of reminds me of the generic romantic comedy. This seems like it’s another example of Hollywood churning out crap.

The stars of this movie are the most notable, Hugh Grant and Drew Barrymore, both of whom have had experience with romantic comedies. It seems like every movie Hugh Grant is in is some lame romantic comedy. I do like Drew Barrymore though. I think she’s really cute. In fact, she won the honor of being one of People Magazine’s Most Beautiful Women in the World, without makeup. That’s pretty good job on her part.

This movie is directed by Marc Lawrence, who has wrote for Miss Congeniality 1 & 2. He also directed the Sweet Valley High TV series in the early years of his career. Anyway, the plot of this movie is basically Hugh Grant is a washed up singer (maybe he can play a washed up actor in his next movie, lol), and is given the task of writing a chart topping song in a couple of days. But the poor guy has never written lyrics before. So he meets Drew Barrymore, falls in love, and all of a sudden can write inspiring lyrics. How romantic.
