    Storyline

    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.

    Delightful!
    I was pleased when I finished this movie... normally by the end of most romantic movies my legs ache from non-use and I have just enjoyed a nice little nap.

    I found Music and Lyrics to be charming and clever.... Hugh Grant gives a great crisp delivery on his very witty lines... good interaction between he and Barrymore, some well-timed jokes and a heartfelt ending make this a nice date movie that did not follow the norm in it's character.

    Here is where a few things were different

    1. The main male character was a not a womanizer charmed out of that life 2. The two characters had no secret shame to be revealed halfway through the movie 3. He did not cheat on her... then they got together in the end

    He just did... as Sophie Fisher's sister in the movie, says "Something Extraordinary" to win her love.

    See it.. you will smile!
