Synopsis

Fortune smiles on washed-up '80s pop star Alex Fletcher (Hugh Grant), when the music industry's reigning diva invites him to write and record a duet with her. Reduced to working the nostalgia circuit at school reunion concerts, Alex faces a problem - it's years since he wrote a song and on top of that he's never written lyrics. How can he come up with a hit in a matter of days?

Luckily for Alex his quirky plant lady, Sophie Fisher (Drew Barrymore), has a flair for words. On the rebound from a bad relationship Sophie is reluctant to collaborate with anyone, especially commitment-phobe Alex. But, as their chemistry heats up at the piano and under it, Alex and Sophie have to face their fears - and the music - if they want to find the love and success they both deserve.

Written and directed by Marc Lawrence (TWO WEEKS NOTICE, MISS CONGENIALITY), romantic comedy MUSIC AND LYRICS stars Hugh Grant (BRIDGET JONES'S DIARY, ABOUT A BOY) and Drew Barrymore (THE WEDDING SINGER, CHARLIE'S ANGELS).
