About This Movie

Music and Lyrics, directed by Marc Lawrence, has this charmingly retro vibe, mixing the glitzy world of pop with a touch of nostalgia. Hugh Grant plays Alex, a once-famous '80s singer who's kind of lost in the modern music scene. The pacing feels relaxed, almost reflective, as we watch him bumbling through the process of writing a hit song for Cora Corman, played by Drew Barrymore. The humor is light yet engaging, with some clever dialogue that captures the awkwardness of rekindling old dreams. It's the performances that really stand out, especially Grant's self-deprecating charm and Barrymore's bubbly energy. And there's something about the music, too; it adds a layer of warmth to the story, making it a fun watch.
