Music and Lyrics

I was going to start this review with the words "Worse singing voice stand in since Audrey Hepburn in My Fair Lady ", except I stayed to the end to watch the over credits scenes and saw that it is in fact Hugh Grant doing the singing, which just goes to show you can perform miracles with a sound studio these days.

Hugh Grant's latest rom com, with the emphasis definitely on the rom this time. That isn't to say that the film isn't funny, it has some genuinely hilarious moments, but many of the scenes are just played straight. I actually found this very enjoyable.

This isn't exactly a chick flick, but it's close and since my last incarnation was female, that part of me enjoyed it. But what about the part of you that's all man?, I heard you ask. Well it's got Drew Barrymore doing that thing with her face I like, plus Haley Bennett as Cora Corman, who looks like a result of adding Britney and Christina but subtracting the clothing.

However, yet again there's a scene in the trailer that doesn't appear in the film. I've been told by a few people that this is perfectly acceptable in today's world, since the trailers are often made before the final cut of the film has been produced. Tosh! If you bought sultana bran and discovered that it contained no sultanas whatsoever, you'd complain.

Overall: a perfect Valentine's day movie. Just remember to tell her she looks sexier than Cora. And do not in any circumstances say "You'd look good in that outfit."

Score: B - (Purely because Hugh Grant singing doesn't sound like Hugh Grant)

OQ: I wasn't going to stay with you, but then POP goes my heart!
