HERE IS THE SUMMARY FOR THE MOVIE MUSIC AND LYRICS FROM IMDB

• Cheery Alex Fletcher lives comfortably in Manhattan off the residuals from his 80's pop success and reprising his hits at school reunions, theme parks, and state fairs. But those gigs are declining, so he jumps at the chance to write a song and record it with reigning teen idol Cora Corman. Trouble is, he's good at melodies but needs a lyricist and has less than a week to finish. Enter Sophie Fisher, subbing for a friend who waters Alex's plants; she's a pretty good poet, quick witted, and could do it, if she'd agree. But there's some sort of shadow over her head that Alex may not be able to charm his way past. And what if they do get a song written, what then? Written by {jhailey@hotmail.com}

• In New York, the washed-up singer Alex Fletcher has a decadent career singing his old hits in amusement parks, school reunions or dinner parties to survive. In the 80's, he was a successful singer of the band POP with Collin Thompson, but when his partner split, his solo-career was a complete failure. His manager and friend Chris Riley schedules a meeting with the successful teen singer Cora Corman and Alex has a chance to be promoted in a show if he delivers a new song for Cora's concert in the end of the week. Alex has difficulties to put lyrics in his melody, but he accidentally discovers Sophie Fisher, who is temporarily watering his plants and proves to be a sensitive poet and efficient lyricist. Their song is approved by Cora, but they disagree about her interpretation, while they fall in love for each other. Written by Claudio Carvalho, Rio de Janeiro, Brazil

HERE IS A REVIEW FOR THE MOVIE MUSIC AND LYRICS FROM DVDTALK

• Hugh Grant has starred in a few clunkers in his day, but his track record with romantic comedies is surprisingly solid. I suspect this is because he seldom deviates from the characters he's best at: smart, self-deprecating, a little bumbling, and endlessly charming. He can rattle off a sardonic aside so quickly that the other characters don't even notice he's made a joke.

• It's no surprise, then, that "Music and Lyrics" is a frothy, funny, frivolous affair, largely because of Grant's contributions. His costar is Drew Barrymore, whose positive qualities I have never been able to ascertain, and while her character is (typically) loopy and off-kilter in a movie-character sort of way, she's rather endearing, too. They're a better pair than you'd expect them to be, especially given the 15-year age difference between them.

• Grant plays Alex Fletcher, keyboardist for the fictional '80s pop band Pop! and now generally referred to as "the other guy from Pop!" (see also: Andrew Ridgeley, "the other guy from Wham!"). The lead singer went on to solo fame and fortune, while Alex now does state fairs and Knott's Berry Farm and other medium-paying, semi-demeaning gigs. And he's content to do so. He makes a decent living, no one expects much of him, and the whole "retro" thing means a lot of 40-year-old women are thrilled to see him shake his booty when he performs at their 20-year class reunions. He's perfectly fine with being a has-been.
