    Cute but worth the wait to dvd

    by xxredheadjessxx

    I found this movie to be cute and mildly funny. The only times I found myself laughing outloud was when they made Hugh Grant sing or dance. I think I was laughing out of embarressment for him than anything else. Drew Barrymore seemed akward and her wardorbe/style seemed always messy like there was no budget for wardrobe. But I have to admit it was surprisingly good even with the cliche ending.

    Meh.

    by uberdeutsch72

    Hugh Grant was very Hugh Grant-ish and Drew Barrymore kinda sleep-walked through this movie. It was funny at times but very forced and hammy. I did, however, like the music which seemed to buzz in my head long after the movie was over. Definitely a matinee or a rental.

    Hugh is hardly the world's foremost vocalist yet the song(s) they create in the movie work very well. Drew is sweet and charming as ever. She is both cute and irresistible. Overall it's a 4 out of 5 type chick flick.
