This was a cute romantic comedy that I never had the chance to watch until tonight for my movie date night. A co-worker of mine let me borrowed it after talking about boy bands and the movie, "This Is The End." I like Drew Barrymore but I'm not a fan of Hugh Grant. Here, they both did great together. Had no idea what the story was about. I like the boy band parody part of it. See, I'm not a boy band or pop group fan at all. Never have been and probably never be. But, I do like when movies make fun of them, like this one. Here we basically have a simple story about a former pop star who tries to get any project to pay the bills. He is given the job to write a song for a popular pop artist. Along the way, he meets this one girl who happens to be a natural born lyricist. Boom! Match made in heaven. Don't need to tell you what happens. You already know. A romantic happy comedy. I liked it. There was just a couple of scenes that I didn't like in the story: Drew Barrymore's character was speechless when she encountered her ex lover after a year of writing what to say. In another scene, she is so strong and talkative and wants to express her opinion about a song to the pop artist. I didn't buy it. No biggie, though.
