Critics Consensus

Music & Lyrics is a light and pleasant romantic comedy that succeeds because of the considerable charm of its co-stars. The music segments featuring Hugh Grant are worth the price of admission.

Far too little originality ... to make the film anything other than a disposable rom-com triviality. Go to Full Review

It's more fun than a Spandau Ballet/Tears for Fears concert circa 1985, and I mean that in a good way. Go to Full Review

The chemistry is alive between them for the entire movie, and it rivals some of the classic Hollywood romantic duos of the past. Grant and Barrymore play off of each other extremely well. Go to Full Review

4/10
Lawrence has a distinct lack of ability to write anything remotely resembling a real human. Maybe romantic comedies don't really need that sort of thing but if there's nothing else going for it - and there's nothing else going for it - it would help. Go to Full Review

Noel L 6d The songs were catchy, the story was cute, and it makes you laugh See more Michael W Nov 29 While acknowledging the film's limitations it is very enjoyable and has quite a few laugh out loud lines. The stars spark off each other and the supporting cast is very strong. It's one of those films that you can watch every so often with friends and family singing along with the catchy tune and laughing before the acturs say their (by now) well known punchlines. Give it a go. See more John D @UnSimply_Green Oct 19 An average rom-com, but very funny. See more Tim M @tgmacman Sep 19 Though it wants for a better narrative chorus, Music and Lyrics finds an easygoing sound nonetheless thanks to its amiable leads. See more Leo C Jul 22 Songs that stick with you for years See more thiago s @Thiagostone Jul 3 Filme fraco, o roteiro é fraco, as cenas são fracas, a história é fraca, o elenco é fraco, e ninguém ajuda a melhorar o filme, os personagens são fracos, e o filme deveria ter cenas bem melhores e relevantes, para fazer o filme ser bom See more Read all reviews
