Music and Lyrics

Right from the first music video madness, a tremendously enjoyable comedy that keeps delivering one punchline after another and irresistibly and constantly poking fun at the current MTV pop. In other words, a light parody against the backdrop of Hugh Grant's irreplaceable romantic smolder. This time he plays a compromise between the stuttering fool from Notting Hill and the bored cynic from About a Boy. Above all, he manages to establish unprecedented chemistry with Drew Barrymore, who has matured into the sweet girl-next-door type that you would let walk into your apartment without a word.

It's not that there aren't titles in the romantic comedy genre that deviate from the norm and try to break the established production formula, but I dare say that it will be difficult to find a genre that has such a preserved basic scheme, in which only the names, faces, and settings alternate. Marc Lawrence is certainly not one of those who would attempt a revolution within the genre, and he relies on the tried and tested. However, I think it is a watchable film for more than just the genre fans. It's not clever, but not outright stupid either, and it has a powerful weapon in the form of Hugh Grant, for whom similar roles are a sure bet. These types of guys know how to act and do it with great charm. And Drew Barrymore is also well cast. Hugh Grant has appeared in many better films, and for Drew, this one is probably one of the most successful in her not-so-spectacular career. Pop music is naturally an easy target for irony and all kinds of jokes, but the parody of a cheesy pop romance for teenage fans in the form of a music video for the song "Pop! Goes My Heart" is flawless. For me, it gets 3 stars and a 55% overall impression. (17/01/2016)

Take Hugh Grant, give him some sweet lemonade and instruct him to tell me it's a first-class lager. I’d believe him. There's not a single thing in this film that isn't stolen from elsewhere, yet I watched it with extraordinary interest and reacted exactly as I was supposed to. If there is a top pop star among the actors, it is Hugh. And Drew Barrymore is really, really cute. (03/12/2008)

A typical American romantic comedy that doesn't surprise with anything and from the beginning you can guess how it will end. But it still managed to captivate me, mainly thanks to the great Drew Barrymore. Hugh Grant was also a pleasure, as were the lyrics and melodies of the soundtrack. (27/03/2010)

Hugh Grant is for some people the one who brings some familiar actresses into his movies so that he can have some romantic relationship with them. He chooses actresses who are famous and different, so it depends on the script itself and whether the story can appeal to the audience. Hugh Grant surely charms the ladies because just one of his smiles is enough to make them melt in front of him. That is simply the gift of this handsome Englishman. However, some of the movies he has made are definitely not top-notch. Recent examples include "Morganovi," for which Hugh's partner Sarah Jessica Parker is also to blame, I personally do not like her very much. "Hudbu složil, slova napsal" is also not a romantic film that would surprise anyone significantly. It is not a romance that brings something fundamentally new because it is simply a classic story where two people who do not know each other well and only work together fall in love, one gets very disappointed, but in the end, everything turns out well, and they get back together. The quality of the film mainly lies in the fact that truly beautiful songs appear in it, with some of them being performed by the main character himself. And that is something worthy of appreciation. The melodies will capture your heart, and you will find yourself humming the lyrics. Just for the music alone, it is worth watching.
