the movie "music & lyrics" is a lot like the musical "they're playing our song" -- a songwriting team, funny dialogue, mushy and cheesy songs, etc. what the latter doesn't have however, is hugh grant -- 80's pop star. the man must be near 50 by now but, geez, he still has the charm to carry a rom-com movie, and he still has a few surprises up his sleeve -- including the vocal pipes to sing! first heard him sing in "about a boy" but did anyone imagine he'd agree to play an 80's has-been? "music & lyrics" is darn entertaining because of dear old hugh. plus, he must be all over the movie soundtrack. i swear, i still can't get that catchy "pop, goes my heart" out of my head!
