Music and Lyrics (2007 Marc Lawrence & scr)

When Drew Barrymore returns to Hugh Grant's flat with a plaster on her finger and Grant says "I see they managed to save the whole hand", it's again a line that makes you wonder if he wrote it himself. There's no way of knowing (without asking them), but it's a fun game.

In the climax performance, Grant having managed to write the last verse perfectly well all by himself, that fluttering sound you hear is the script flying out of the window.

"Well, Drew, I think did hate me a bit. But I admired her. We just were very different human beings," Grant explained. "She was very LA and I was a grumpy Londoner. The funny thing is, although it was fractionally tense on the set of that film, I think the chemistry is rather good between us. Sometimes tension makes a good crackle." 2018 interview on TooFab.

3rd Rock's Kristen Johnson after giving Drew a makeover: "Eleven years of therapy and I finally helped someone."
