I have a recent obsession. I have a personality that easily becomes obsessed. Right now, I am obsessed with the movie "Music and Lyrics." Kersten took me to see it at the dollar theatre awhile back with Nik and Lena. And I knew from the opening credits that I would throughly enjoy this movie. It starts out with a music video phaux the 80's. If you grew up in the eighties and were old enough at that time to be aware of music and music videos and other "cool" things from that time. It is quite enjoyable, it just takes you back. I love the hair and clothes and especially the hip movements that Hugh Grant does, I love 'Alex" sardonic comments about his past stardom and the hip new Cora Cora semi ignorance of the real world. It is just to fun. I love the character of Rhonda, played by the girl in 3rd Rock from the Sun. She is so hilarious as a crazed fan of his glory days. The script isn't brilliant but there are many quoteable moments.
Needless to say my action adventure, shoot them up, car chase loving husband does not have a lot of really nice things to say about this movie. It is pure chick flick. Luckily I have few women friends (Amy and Kieran) who share in my obsession to some degree. I even burned the soundtrack and listen to it in my car. It makes me happy and it is easy to sing along too. It has that feel good quality that lacks so much in some of the new music of today. So I am grateful to my sweet husband for allowing me to own it without to much teasing and grumbling. And now if I just want to "Pop" in the DvD just to watch the music video I can. Oh what joy this gives me

Ummm this song was intended for humans!!
I've been wanting to see this, now you've just made me want to see it more. If you liked it, I bet I will.
The whole time I watched this emasculating movie, I thought that perhaps someone would get shot or kidnapped or something. Alas, it is pure girly-movie. I think the ratings board should add a new rating: GM = Girly Movie. That will warn sucker-husbands like myself when we take our wives out.
Girly movies are fun Kersten. You know that. I liked the movies when we saw it. It does have its questionable moments but it just a girly movie.
I am obsessed along with you lou. I knew I would love this movie when I saw the preview. its about Music Duh!..........I must say when I watch it POP goes my HEART!!!.......Oh and lou we need to do a Love Autopsy
