Music and Lyrics (2007) (nat)

This is a very cute movie. Cheesy? Yes. Silly? Yes. Predictable? Of course, it's a romantic comedy so it's not like they're all going to die at the end after a car chase and massive explosions. But it's worth a watch if for nothing but the send-ups of MTV and Vh1 programming.

Alex Fletcher (Hugh Grant) is an 80s pop star dying on the state fair and theme park scene when he meets and falls in love with Sophie Fisher (Drew Barrymore) who seems to have a knack for songwriting and also seems like she can help him write a song for the Britney-esque pop starlet Cora by the only-a-few-days-away deadline. Typical romantic comedy plot-lines ensue and all is resolved accordingly. Anyway, cute and worth watching.
