Music and Lyrics

"Grant carries the day as the fortysomething lad still living off his youth and just about getting away with it..."

"Lawrence's take on pop music success is exactly right, satiric without being absurdist, and therefore a prize worth the effort..."

"The music is catchy. The actors are likeable. It's all pleasant enough to watch but ultimately it's about as substantial as a pop song. Though it's unlikely to stay with you quite so long..."

"An agreeably loopy romantic comedy that bounces along effortlessly on the genuine chemistry of leads Hugh Grant and Drew Barrymore..."

"The plot is paper-thin, and the set-up is beyond contrived (a plant waterer?), but there are a surprising number of laughs, and the saccharine content is kept to a minimum. A mostly enjoyable experience, all told..."

"A watchable, workaday rom-com with business as usual from the leads, a bland plot and inconsistent characters..."

"Grant and Barrymore just don't have the depth or chemistry to make you care. In short: flat like Milli Vanilli..."
