Thank god I didn't manage to watch this in the cinemas. Because I cried like a baby. It's an incredible experience - the movie, I mean. Drew Barrymore plays an accidental-lyricist to Hugh Grant. They met, fell in love, faced challenges and lived happily ever after.

The lines are funny! Aiyooo, especially when they were trying to create lyrics and when Grant sang them. The characters will have you pealing with laughter, the lyrics will leave you bawling and even the credits had a nice clip that came with it.

Grant did really well, I mean, that's an understatement because I really can't remember any movie he did badly in. Barrymore, the usual romantic-movie-underdog style, not bad at all.

I especially loved the part whereby Grant was playing the music to their new song "Way Back Into Love". He played all the piano, bass, guitar and drums separately, then added them together using a software. MAGIC. That's what music is.
