Music and Lyrics
A washed up singer is given a couple days to compose a chart-topping hit for an aspiring teen sensation. Though he's never written a decent lyric in his life, he sparks with an offbeat younger woman with a flair for words.

Far too little originality ... to make the film anything other than a disposable rom-com triviality.

Hugh Grant is a genius at romantic comedy. He has just the right blend of good looks, sex appeal, wit, sensitivity, self-awareness, and even more endearing, self-mockery.

Lawrence has a distinct lack of ability to write anything remotely resembling a real human. Maybe romantic comedies don't really need that sort of thing but if there's nothing else going for it - and there's nothing else going for it - it would help.

Music and Lyrics could have had more rhythm and a better beat...

We're clearly deep into romantic-comedy territory here, so it's a good thing we're also in the hands of excellent guides.

Sweet, predictable date movie. Teens OK.

It's more fun than a Spandau Ballet/Tears for Fears concert circa 1985, and I mean that in a good way.

I don't think the ending is up to the rest of the movie, but Grant and Barrymore are great together, and the movie has both zing and song.

Drew Barrymore is that rare movie starlet who can handle the comedy end of romantic comedy, but she coasts through her underwritten role as a goofy plant sitter recruited by Grant to write his lyrics.

This isn't just a chick flick wallowing in moon-spoon-June levels of Hallmark mush; it's the 'Macarena' of cut-rate rom-coms.

Light, sweet and agreeably confident
