This film is very light, certainly not film festival material. Yet it is cute and entertaining for me.
Hugh Grant plays a middle aged ex-pop singer from the 80s named Alex Fletcher. Although he had gone through some glorious years as a pop star, he now does odd gigs, such as at a small stage in an amusement park, high school reunions of people who graduated in the 80s, etc.
At one point he got the opportunity to come back into mainstream music by writing a song for a very popular 'modern' singer Cora (a super sexy sultry singer who looks like a combination of Britney, Christina, Shakira, who is somehow very spiritual and peaceful). This character in the film is very entertaining. Ajaib banget, tapi koq orang nya nornal2 aja.
Alex Fletcher then by coincidence was getting help from Sophie Fisher (Drew Barrymore) who also has her own personal issues to deal with.
The songs in this film are really simple and catchy. The song (in the form of a music video) in the opening sequence really mocks and imitate the music videos of the 80s. Okay, perhaps it's more of an homage. The title of that song is "Pop! goes my heart" in which members of the band dance around popping their hips left and right.
Hugh Grant is such a "silly English man". I love him in this film. I also liked the discussion between Alex Fletcher the musician, and Sophie who becomes his lyricist, about... what else... Music and Lyrics. What comes first? Music or lyrics? Which is more important?
The relationship between Alex and his manager is very touching... The manager's syle isn't exactly like Jerry Maguire but he really cared about Alex.
Have you all seen it?   | I like this movie... I love Hugh Grant, he portrays the good-natured Alex so perfectly... tapi sebenernya chemistry between hugh dan drew itu agak datar ya? more like brother and sister hihihi... tapi filmnya so sweet dan hugh grant sama sekali gak jaim... which I love... come to mama... (apaan sih) |
