Music & Lyrics
Predictable. But then again which romantic comedy isn’t? Hugh Grant plays Alex Fletcher an 80’s pop icon who at present is a has-been, while Sophie Fisher played by Drew Barrymore is a plant waterer? Or so my intuitive senses tells me.
Grant looks noticeably older at 47 while Barrymore looks somewhat like a pubescent adult. I might as well just cut to the chase because the movie is just another clichéd, conventional and insipid romantic comedy with its familiar themes and a typical ending.
Don’t get me wrong, it was not like it wasn’t entertaining, it was, thanks mainly to Grant who seems to have a knack for comedies, these past recent years.
Barrymore is average, she was playing herself. Now the one thing that caught me off my guard was Kristen Johnston of 3rd Rock from the sun fame, playing Sophie’s sister, Rhonda. I mean my God!!! That so has to be a man! There is no possible way that that is a woman, its just not possible, people. I’m telling you, it’s a MAN!!!! I suspected it from 3rd Rock but now I SO believe my own assumptions.
Anyway, blah blah blah…boy meets girl, boy fucks girl, boy makes girl angry, boy apologies in of course the standard, immensely dramatic romantic way, what else.
