Music & Lyrics

Okay, so there are few movies that I really think are funny. I have a pretty dry sense of humor, and I do not enjoy a whole lot of bathroom humor (probably because my parents never indulged in it), which is what most of the funny movies are about. But "Music & Lyrics" is quickly turning into one of my favorites. It has Drew Barrymore & Hugh Grant in it. They have to write this song. He was part of a band in the 80's and now only plays at 80's reunion type stuff. At the beginning, they play his old music video. Now, I did not grow up with any cable - couldn't get it in rural Michigan in the mid-80's - so I have very little exposure to MTV and such. Bear with me if I have a completely naive perspective. I think Hugh Grant in that POP music video is HYSTERICAL. It is classic 80's and silly, and he looks ridiculous when he dances! Besides the fact of the whole silly story they're telling as they sing the song. The movie as a whole to me is funny, but that video - I think I could watch it over & over. "Hitch" with Will Smith is another one of my favorites - especially when he gets that allergic reaction. But I watched M & L again the other night, and I just had to share in case you haven't seen it.
