Music and Lyrics

Oh yea, another movie in my list to share with you guys. Two movies in two consecutive nights; doesn't it sounds cool, huh? Maybe to cover back those movies that I should been watching in last two weeks. What to do as AOR has only lousy cinemas like old Cathay, Capitol and Metrowealth and I won't ever spend my money in those cinemas. No way!

Okay, let me introduce the movie I watched last night in GSC One Utama; Music and Lyrics. This romantic comedy movie is mainly about Alex Fletcher (Hugh Grant), a washed-up 80's pop singer who is no longer in the spotlight and glittering world. In order for him to maintain his life, he is doing shows in county fairs and amusement parks. Apart from that, he is a very talented and charismatic musician.

His life starts to be in sparkling again and he gets a chance to make comeback when a young pop diva and a rising star, Cora Corman (Haley Bennett) invites him to compose and record duet with her. His problem is he hasn't composed songs for many years and he never write any lyrics before but Cora needs a hit song in a very short notice. Since this is a romantic movie, we can't run away from the typical storyboard; the presence of a girl to complement the character of the hero.

Here it comes the character Sophie Fisher starred by Drew Barrymore, who used to be a plant lady in Alex's apartment, whose flair for words. She then writes the lyrics for Alex and they work closely to each other in order to write a hit song for Cora. Throughout the movie, there are scenes and plots to show how the feeling in both of them grows. It's very nice as both of them got the chemistry, a term in relationship dictionary to describe how close and click they are.

There are a few supporting characters in this movie like Rhonda, Sophie's sister, Sloan Cates, a famous novelist that used to be Sophie's sweetheart before but the character that really makes me smiling is Alex's manager, Chris Rilley (Brad Garrett). If you ever watch Everybody Loves Raymond, you will absolutely familiar with Brad Garrett as he is Raymond's brother in the series.

For those who are in cloud nine in their relationship especially those who just get married and happy couples, I'm strongly encourage you all to watch this movie but for those who are not belong to both categories also can watch this movie as it's just nice for everyone. I'd say it's an entertaining movie; really enjoy the two hours show. Not to forget, the songs are nice and soothing.

Well, relationship needs commitment and the commitment comes from both parties. It cannot be one hand to clap and making sound. Both are complementing each other just like Music and Lyrics are meant for each other to produce a nice and perfect melody.
