Journal #7 Music & Lyrics


Music & Lyrics is a romantic comedy film. It is really funny and lovely movie. Alex Fletcher(Hugh Grant) is a former pop-star who was one of member of famous band POP. Now, he is singing high school reunion party or amusement park and has just middle age fans.
One day, pop singer star Cora Corman(Haley Bennet)asks him to write a duet to be called "Way back into Love" for her within just few days. However he can write just melodies not lyrics, so his manager promised to find a lyricist. Sophie Fisher(Drew Barrymore) visits his house to give some water to his plants instead of her friend. When Alex makes a song with a lyricist, Sophie is singing a great word while giving some water to plants. Sophie is not a song writer but she decided make lyrics with Alex. They made a song together and Cora like it, so the song is put into Cora’s new album. But Cora wants to change that song to steamy and sticky. Sophie doesn’t want to change the song but Alex doesn’t want to this chance, Finally Sophie leaves Alex and Alex prepares new album with Cora.
Cora invites Alex and Sophie to her concert which will launch new song “Way back into love”. While performing a concert, Sophie surprises that Cora announced “New song by Alex Fletcher”, so she starts to leave the concert hall. At that time, Alex starts to sing his new song “Don’t write me off” which explains their love story and his apology. After hearing this song, Sophie runs to back stage due to meet Alex. And she realized Cora doesn’t change the song. When Alex and Cora’s song is almost finishes, Alex and Sophie are kissing in back stage.
I love this movie. Especially original sound track album is really great. After watching this movie, you feel so goooood!!
