In this episode of Just That Film Podcast, we revisit Music and Lyrics (2007), the charming romantic comedy that perfectly blends romance, humour, and catchy pop music.

Starring Hugh Grant and Drew Barrymore, Music and Lyrics tells the story of washed-up 1980s pop star Alex Fletcher, who gets one last chance at a comeback when he’s asked to write a hit song for today’s biggest pop sensation. With the unexpected help of aspiring writer Sophie Fisher, an unlikely partnership blossoms into romance.

We discuss the effortless chemistry between Hugh Grant and Drew Barrymore, Marc Lawrence’s direction, the film’s witty script, memorable soundtrack, and why Music and Lyrics deserves far more recognition among modern romantic comedies.
