"That song was dinner!"

Music and Lyrics would have made a better MTV or VH1 TV movie, or on DVD. It's a great movie if your sick in bed, or just need something running in the background. Since I was in an actual movie theater I felt this movie was very rushed and put together with scotch tape. I can just imagine a couple of Hollywood executives..."Drew Barrymore and Hugh Grant. They would be perfect in a romantic comedy! Make it happen."
A "has been" pop star from the 80's (Hugh) is looking for a comeback. He gets the opportunity to write a song for the newest teenage pop star, and searches for a lyricist. The lyricist the record label provides is bad, and the lady that waters his plants (Drew) shows a little talent for rhyming and we're off!
When asked to take the job of writing for him she says no, and he chases her all over NY. Now this whole "cat and mouse" thing was cute for a second, but it was really dragged out. He goes to her work, she says no. He invites her to a performance to ask her again, she says no. He takes her to a piano shop and sings to her, she says no. Honestly, I can't remember when she said yes but I guess she did. Because I was in the theater for another hour watching these two rhyme "head" with "bed", and literally watching the sun go down, and come up.
I'm giving this movie 2 Stars. One Star just for being a movie, and the second Star is for Kristen Johnston.
She plays Drew's older sister, and she was great! She has always had perfect comic timing, and is not afraid to look silly. Also she really looks like the white counter part to Monique. Dead ringer, check it out.
Come back Kristen we miss you!
The only way this could qualify for being a date movie, is if you have a good date watching it with you, like I did. I found the best laughs I had through this movie were from my best friend sitting next to me as we goofed on the it. Thanx Mimi.
