We are a bunch of sad romantics aren't we? How many times are we bombarded with kids singing to the tune of High School musical? Or some other Disney teeny bopper series or movie? Well I can tell you honestly this is not much different but thank god it's not Disney who did it. Or else it would be too....Disney.
Hugh Grant (yes ladies swoon all you want) and Drew Barrymore (I know some guys go for her too) in this movie is not that bad an effort. But I keep having this vision of it being in a London setting rather than in New York. Must be Hugh's stark British accent that got me. It's an entertaining movie nonetheless. I love the intro.....it will make you squirm with the garish 80's pop MTV-ish feel.
The story line? Well...Hugh plays a has been pop idol and Berrymore is a ...urm....the one that waters his plants. I wonder what would they come up with next. The British dry sense of humor does wonders in what could have become a really terrible movie. Still I'll rate it so and so and is a good laugh to watch with all the puns that Hugh has for his part. A must watch for couples in love....too bad it just missed Valentines. A 2 out of 5...and Hugh saved the day on this one.
