Music and Lyrics

Just finished watching Music and Lyrics starring Hugh Grant and Drew Barrymore. Almost cried during the piano solo; am man enough to admit it.

Witty lines peppered throughout the film, plus its simple but realistic storyline centralizing on a song-writing collaboration make the show so endearing. I guess the central theme is undoubtedly near to my heart, and I guess that's the reason I love it so.


It was released in conjunction with Valentine's Day, but really, on every other day, it will still work its magic. Go watch it, if you haven't. (Now if only I could get a girl to watch it with me, that would be great.)

And the best quote from the movie, credits to IMDb.com:

Sophie Fisher: A melody is like seeing someone for the first time. The physical attraction. Sex.
Alex Fletcher: I so get that.

Sophie Fisher: But then, as you get to know the person, that's the lyrics. Their story. Who they are underneath. It's the combination of the two that makes it magic.
