    Storyline

    Edit

    Did you know

    Edit
    • Trivia
      As a child, Hugh Grant took piano lessons from Andrew Lloyd Webber's mother. At some point, he stopped piano lessons and subsequently forgot what he had learned. Prior to the filming of the movie, he was taught to play the portions where his hands would be visible on the keys.
    • Goofs
      When Alex and Sophie are at breakfast, Sophie's cup changes positions several times between shots. Many times, she will lift the cup to take a drink, then in the next shot the cup is back on the table.
    • Quotes

      Alex Fletcher: It doesn't have to be perfect. Just spit it out. They're just lyrics.

      Sophie Fisher: "Just lyrics"?

      Alex Fletcher: Lyrics are important. They're just not as important as melody.

      Sophie Fisher: I really don't think you get it.

      Alex Fletcher: Oh. You look angry. Click your pen.

      Sophie Fisher: A melody is like seeing someone for the first time. The physical attraction. Sex.

      Alex Fletcher: I so get that.

      Sophie Fisher: But then, as you get to know the person, that's the lyrics. Their story. Who they are underneath. It's the combination of the two that makes it magical.

    • Crazy credits
      During the end credits the video of 'Pop Goes My Heart' is played with pop-ups similar to VH1's 'Pop-up Video'
    • Alternate versions
      In the original version Sophie enters Alex's apartment asking him if he has a watering pot and telling about the eighty year old German screaming at her. In the German dubbing this old man is French.

    Lightweight but uplifting comedy
    I'll admit it, I love this film! OK, the plot line is thinner than paint stripper, the lines more mildly amusing than witty, and the acting isn't going to win any Oscars, BUT...

    it's one of those movies that just makes you feel good.

    Right from the hilarious opening, showing Hugh's make-believe band "Pop" in their "MTV/VH1" hit video "Pop Goes My Heart", you can't help but smile. Obviously it is especially amusing for those of us who lived through the pop excesses of the 80s, but I have to say the teens in the audience seemed to enjoy it too.

    All the songs are pure cheese (and incredibly infectious), which coupled with some amusing lines, a very lovable Hugh Grant, a very cute Drew Barrymore, and fabulous supporting roles from Kristen Johnston and Aasif Mandvi make this movie a great romantic comedy for those of us who actually enjoy a "bit of fluff".
