PLOT
A washed up 80's "has been" Alex fletcher might have been the rage in those days, but these days he's lucky to get a gig playing at the local county fair. Just when it seems as if things couldn't get any more bleak for the dejected has-been rocker, reigning pop diva Cora Corman invites him to write and perform a duet that would give his career the much need boost.
But Fletcher though very good with melody, has never been good at writing lyrics.
In comes in Sophie, his 'plan-girl' who has a flair for words.
Unfortunately the beguiling Sophie is still reeling from a recent break-up with newly famous novelist Sloan Cates , and she isn't quite sure if she's ready for any kind of collaboration right now -- romantic or otherwise.
REVIEW
Although the plot is fairly simple.. boy meets girl, girl helps boy. boy falls in love.
the movie is really nice.. more than romance.. it's the comedy part that keeps this romantic comedy going... I was in splits when i heard Pop! goes my heart.
The sarcasm was topnotch and sometimes if your not attentive you just might miss it... although at times it seems like Lawrence tried a bit to hard to get you to laugh.
The songs were as i mentioned earlier, amazing who would have thought that Hugh could shake his hip like that and actually sing...
I liked was the way Cora(who's a bit of a mix of Britney/Cristina and Shakira) is shown as modern day female pop star.
RATING
funny.. entertaining.. 3.. if not at the theater.. must catch the DVD..
SPECIAL FEATURES
This is much needed for a movie like this..
