Music and Lyrics (2007)
Liked this movie so much I bought it!
We took our adult daughter to see this movie. Of a younger generation, she often has a different point of view, but on this movie we all agreed: we loved it. We enjoyed the music, we enjoyed the all-out performance by Hugh Grant, and the delightful one by Drew Barrymore, and more than anything, we enjoyed the dialog. It is such a pleasure to hear witty dialog spoken by two such articulate and talented people, who each have the appreciation and ability for good timing. We really laughed a lot. And to us that is quite rare in many of the current comedies. We came out humming the music. We bought the soundtrack (which we do not often do), and we bought the DVD which has just come out, which we do not often do. We just plain old enjoyed it, which we do not often do!
Sunday in New York (1963)
Still a delightful story
I saw this when it appeared in 1963 and loved it. Bought the LP as soon as I could find it because of the wonderful Peter Nero score. Bought the VHS as soon as it appeared. Watched it with my grown children last night (in their thirties) and they enjoyed it, and laughed at all the right places. With excellent dialog and a classic story and one of the best movie soundtracks ever, to us this holds up very well. Am trying to start a campaign to have the movie issued as a DVD and the soundtrack on CD. Whoever owns the rights is missing out. This is absolutely comparable to 'You've Got Mail', 'Sleepless in Seattle', and 'When Harry Met Sally'.
