MiniReview: Music and Lyrics

Drew Barrymore, Hugh Grant, Brad Garrett...

I had not seen this movie until this past Sunday when DB and I on-demanded it from (the total cable monopoly) Comcast. I was a little surprised when DB wanted to see it, as it's a bit of a chick flick, but then it occurred to me that Drew falls into the same bucket as Belinda Carlisle, Lisa Loeb, and Pink-->
DB's Somewhat Eclectic Collection of Chicks He Thinks Are Cute.

Suddenly it all made sense...

It was a really cute and entertaining movie! Drew is funny and adorable as she is in all her movies. Hugh Grant was the same--he should really stick to romantic comedies such as this, they're really his forte. I mean, it's hard to get over the Divine Brown Incident, don't get me wrong, but I still like him on film, you know?

Brad Garrett was his excellent very tall, deadpan self.

I give it a home rating of 4 out of 5.

5: Definitely worth watching--even via pay-per-view
4: It's on free TV? Absolutely watch it. And, honestly, even if it's not free, watch it then too.
3: It's a fine way to waste an afternoon on the couch
2: If it's the only thing on, it's not going to kill you
1: Not even if it's raining, you're watching TBS, and you'd have to get up to fetch the remote. I mean, you're going to have to get up at some point anyway, what with all the iced tea you've been drinking. Do yourself a favor...do the world a favor. Using only your humble thumb, send a message to Comcast to stop playing sucky movies on days when you can't play outside.

After all, If you're going to spend the day on the couch letting the dog in and out (in again, out again, in and out, oh, then in, oops, out again...), at least watch something decent.

Like a Buffy marathon, for instance.
