Musical Movie Review: ***^ Music and Lyrics (2007)

 Drew Barrymore, Hugh Grant and Haley Bennet take on the musical genre.  Drew Barrymore plays Sophie Fisher, the house made who has a knack for poetry and lyrics.  She works for Alex Fletcher (Hugh Grant) who is a has-been musician doing the state fair circuit.  But even that is falling apart.  However he has a life line, Cora Corman (Haley Bennett) who is currently hot, wants him to write a song titled, "Way Back Into Love."  And of course it turns into a love story with Fisher and Fletcher falling for each other.  Some disagreement over artistic interpretation gets in the way, but resolves itself in the end.

I liked the music, and the partnership, and the feel good love story in the end.

Warning: Cora wears scanty clothing and uses sexual innuendo in her songs.
