Description
First you’re hot, then you’re not…and then you’re Alex Fletcher (HUGH GRANT). So when the sizzlingest tween-queen on the charts asks the has-been ’80s pop sensation to write her a song, he grabs for another chance at stardom. Problem: Alex can say it with music, but he sure can’t say it with words. Enter Sophie Fisher (DREW BARRYMORE), his beguiling if quirky plant lady, who has a green thumb for lyrics.

Terrible. It’s really bad. Saw it on valentine’s day. I threw up a little bit because of it. I mostly blame Hugh Grant, not so much Drew Barrymore.

What I mean is that I am the world’s most forgiving moviegoer. I think I have walked out of one film in my life. I love even bad movies and I never have a problem when a film asks me to beleive something unbelievable.
However … I do need some level of writing skill and some level of commitment from the actors. These two very attractive and talented people seemed to phone this one in, and it was more a sketch than a fully developed screenplay. There were a few good moments between Grant and Barrymore, but not enough to earn more than two stars. Recommended only for the hardest core fan of these two actors.

This movie was absolutely awful. Hugh Grant plays a George Michaelish rock star and he is just awful at it. The movie is boring, boring, boring. I hated it.

OK, some people think his “stupid Englishman” act is just that, but to me, it has charm. I found this script predictable, longwinded and boring. I did not see the humor in more glorification of pop culture nor was I surprised at a possibility of romance. Guess why not? I was so bored, I did not even finish looking at this film because it reflected a culture I do not want in my home, even if it had its point eventually. Brad Garrett, of course, is always welcome. I expected more from Hugh Grant because his performances do specify a special niche he has created for himself and that is what I want. Anything less is beneath him and is not something I would watch or buy! Sorry, guys. Let’s get better! I must disagre with the majority.
