Music and Lyrics opened in theaters across the country yesterday and I so wanted to be there to see it. Unfortunately, I worked late and didn’t have anybody to see it with, but neither scenario is going to stop me from seeing it for long. It’s the ultimate chick-flick—complete with 80’s music and Hugh Grant and Drew Barrymore.
Grant plays a washed up 80’s pop star who has been given one last shot to prove himself. To do so, he just needs to write a hit song by Friday. When he finds out that his plant lady (played by Barrymore) has more lyrical talent than he does, he convinces her to help him write the song. They appear to have unbelievable chemistry and that ignites a romantic spark between them.
I love the interaction in the trailer between them, especially when he says, “The best time I’ve had in the past fifteen years was sitting at that piano with you.”
“That’s wonderfully sensitive—especially from a man who wears such tight pants,” she said.
“It forces all the blood to my heart.”
Check out the trailer:
