Methodical delivery slowed this movie down and left at least one sub-plot unexplored. Bu ok if you like seeing Barrymore and Grant together.

Hugh Grant on autopilot. Flimsy and not very satisfying but sometimes funny. Fountains of Wayne involvement is the main highlight.

Fluffier than most romantic comedies, but the ending makes it watchable.

Being a guy who likes movies like Old School and Big Daddy, i was surprised to get a couple of genuine laughs out of this movie. However, since this IS supposed to be a chick flick, that may or may not be a good thing. I actually enjoyed Being a guy who likes movies like Old School and Big Daddy, i was surprised to get a couple of genuine laughs out of this movie. However, since this IS supposed to be a chick flick, that may or may not be a good thing. I actually enjoyed this movie more than my friend (who is a girl). She DIDN'T like it because it wasn't chicky enough, and i liked it because it wasn't too chicky. So all in all, what i guess i'm trying to say, is that this movie doesn't really know what it's doing. Usually in romantic movies i still get that feeling at the end, that feeling that let's you know it's a sweet romantic movie. I didn't get this feeling from this one. In fact i didn't feel anything at all from this... so yeah it's basically just a throwaway film. If you wanna watch a chick flick, go watch The Holiday, and if you want something funny, go watch something funny.… Expand

The movie begins with a hilariously cheesy 80s-style music video starring Hugh Grant, and then wavers between slightly humorous to forgettable and uninspired the rest of the way. Kristin tries to be funny as Barrymore's big sister, but The movie begins with a hilariously cheesy 80s-style music video starring Hugh Grant, and then wavers between slightly humorous to forgettable and uninspired the rest of the way. Kristin tries to be funny as Barrymore's big sister, but she doesn't succeed. To top it off, I don't think the core "song" that Barrymore and Grant write is all that good to begin with--it's just decent. As in 8 Mile, That Thing You Do, Hustle and Flow, and other films focused on music and lyrics, the main melody needs to be catchy enough for viewers not to get bored. Also, I didn't really buy the romance between Grant and Barrymore, but they're as charming and adorable as you'd expect them to be.… Expand

I think this is ok for what it is and Hugh Grant looks relaxed and is on form carrying this movie all the way through. Drew Barrimore seems more restrained than I've seen her in other movies but still if you want a rom com these 2 make I think this is ok for what it is and Hugh Grant looks relaxed and is on form carrying this movie all the way through.

Interestingly, compares the melody of a song to be like the attractive first impression of a person, and the lyrics the soul/personality that you get to know better after some time.

Predictable, not particularly funny and cliché. This Hugh Grant romantic comedy is exactly what you would be expecting it to be. At least the soundtrack was quite good and the acting was decent.

A fun romantic comedy. Drew and Hugh play well off each other and the music moves the movie along.The songs from this movie are great.
