Music and Lyrics (2007 Marc Lawrence)

After TV series Family Ties, Lawrence wrote the Michael J Fox film Life with Mikey, then Miss Congeniality, before embarking on a series with Hugh Grant: Two Weeks Notice, Music and Lyrics, Did You Hear About the Morgans? and The Rewrite.

I enjoyed this more than before. Has been pop star (Grant actually doing his own singing) teams up with plant waterer Drew Barrymore to write tune for wacky new pop star Hayley Bennett (Marley and Me, The Girl on the Train). His agent Brad Garrett is like the natural descendant of Herb Edelman and you expect him to be in The Odd Couple. Barrymore also can't get over ex Campbell Scott. Asif Madvi as the tone deaf receptionist was in The Internship, Ruby Sparks and It's Kind of a Funny Story.

Did notice the Roland D50 in the 1984 Pop! video was wrong (it wasn't released till 1987). Adam Schlesinger wrote most of the songs, which aren't bad ('Way Back Into Love' and 'Don't Write Me Off'). Funny, I thought Lawrence would have written the lyrics at least.
