Editorial Review: Amazon.co.uk Review: Writer-director Marc Lawrence's romantic comedy gently satirizes the music industry's past and present via Hugh Grant's Alex Fletcher, a has-been Rock of the '80s icon given another shot at the charts by young pop diva Cora Corman (newcomer Haley Bennett). Grant gives some surprisingly credible--if often gently tongue-in-cheek--performances in his musical debut; indeed, he carries better than half the soundtrack with his earnest vocal charms. The production gets key help from Fountain of Wayne's Adam Schlesinger, who contributes a delicious, loving send-up of Wham! courtesy of "Meaningless Kiss," the emotive piano confessional "Don't Write Me Off," and two versions of "Way Back into Love," the comeback ballad/duet that drives the story line. A playful demo version of the latter pairs Grant with co-star Drew Barrymore (playing the florist who becomes Fletcher's unlikely songwriting foil), while Grant's ultimate duet with young Bennett evokes contemporary pop conceits with a keen, affectionate flair that also graces the young singer's Britney-esque "Buddha's Delight," "Slam," and the more obviously snarky "Entering Bootytown." Rounding out the collection are a pair of complimentary tracks by Swedish pop acts: The Sounds' bouncy "Tony the Beat" and the club-slinky groove of Teddybears' "Different Sound." Highlighted by Grant's sympathetic vocals and a knowing musical sensibility that never quite lapses into mere parody, it's a pop-lover's delight from start to finish. --Jerry McCulley Customer Reviews
Average Rating:
 Rating:  - Love the film and you'll probably enjoy this...This is of course the sound track to the Hugh Grant/Drew Barrymore romantic comedy Music and Lyrics. If you've seen the film and enjoyed it, you'll love this. It's got all the versions described in the blurb on the Amazon item, and although I inevitably skip all of the quite frankly terrible (but deliberately so, so it's not that bad) Cora Corman songs, I really, really love the ones that involved Hugh Grant. They include the brilliantly bad 80s records by his character's band Pop, joyous in their accurate send up of the 80s pop scene, bad because they are more schmaltzy than you can imagine. The only songs which are really good for their own sake are the two versions of Way Back Into Love, and Don't Write Me Off. I can be incredibly ...

If anyone has seen the wacky comedy then get out and but the album. The very well ¡V known actor, Hugh Grant, plays a great role of an old pop star trying to have a come ¡V back in the charts, and is later helped by Drew Barrymoore. Hugh Grant¡¦s beautiful voice is very entertaining in this pop hit. The song ¡¥Pop goes my heart¡¦ will be playing round and round your head as the sticky lyrics weave their way into your mind. The catchy tune can¡¦t help but put a smile on your face. When you¡¦re in desperate need of a quick giggle you know where to find one! The film will have you rolling around in laughter when you first see Hugh Grant strutting ... Read More: Rating: - great soundtrack! I saw the movie about 2 weeks ago with my husband and we both enjoyed the songs were in my head all day so my husband bought me the cd and I just love it! the songs are romantic and fun too! and Hugh Grant is simply fantastic! Rating: - Amazing!Well, how to define this music? Absolutely brilliant, not to mention my favorite "Pop! Goes My Heart" a typical 80's song, although this one could have been easily a hit both then and now. It's amazing that such great effort was done for this song. The other songs of this soundtrack are great too, and all actors could have been easily have been singers as well, given their talent. Buy it and enjoy it even if you don't usually go for Soundtracks. |
