Preview: Music and Lyrics (2007)

• Poster: B-

Review:

The simplicity of the poster focuses on a moment at the piano between two people who fall in love over the course of the film seems appropriate. The poster of Hugh Grant's '80s band on the wall adds to the poster. However, the entire thing is still a bit over cluttered.

• Trailer: B

Review:

A romantic comedy that would appeal to all those fans of '80s music who don't have a problem with the era being made fun of. Hugh Grant elevates this potentially mediocre comedy to something that may be worth seeing. However, Drew Barrymore's done nothing but romantic films for years now and really needs to branch out.

Oscar Prospects:

Hugh Grant and Drew Barrymore are two of Hollywood's quirkiest romantic leads but it seems highly unlikely either will earn recognition with this picture.
