Amazon.co.uk Review
Writer-director Marc Lawrence's romantic comedy gently satirizes the music industry's past and present via Hugh Grant's Alex Fletcher, a has-been Rock of the '80s icon given another shot at the charts by young pop diva Cora Corman (newcomer Haley Bennett). Grant gives some surprisingly credible--if often gently tongue-in-cheek--performances in his musical debut; indeed, he carries better than half the soundtrack with his earnest vocal charms. The production gets key help from Fountain of Wayne's Adam Schlesinger, who contributes a delicious, loving send-up of Wham! courtesy of "Meaningless Kiss," the emotive piano confessional "Don't Write Me Off," and two versions of "Way Back into Love," the comeback ballad/duet that drives the story line. A playful demo version of the latter pairs Grant with co-star Drew Barrymore (playing the florist who becomes Fletcher's unlikely songwriting foil), while Grant's ultimate duet with young Bennett evokes contemporary pop conceits with a keen, affectionate flair that also graces the young singer's Britney-esque "Buddha's Delight," "Slam," and the more obviously snarky "Entering Bootytown." Rounding out the collection are a pair of complimentary tracks by Swedish pop acts: The Sounds' bouncy "Tony the Beat" and the club-slinky groove of Teddybears' "Different Sound." Highlighted by Grant's sympathetic vocals and a knowing musical sensibility that never quite lapses into mere parody, it's a pop-lover's delight from start to finish. --Jerry McCulley

Hell Yeah, buy this!
As far as an OST goes, its classic all the way. There is a wide variety of styles in there, something that will definitely appeal to everyone, from the romantic to the dance, from the modern to the 80's!
Seeing the movie just makes this more magical. I know I'm making it sound corny, but truth be told, it's not often you can catch a film star, teach them to sing as well as the professionals, and then in the same time, conduct a chemistry with said people that makes the whole experience believable.
If you want to know the best songs- the Demo version of 'Way Back Into Love'- Hugh Grant, Drew Barrymore, has the classic humour of Hugh Grant and the raw voices of both parties, and it makes for a very interesting song, and 'Buddha's Delight', sung by Haley Bennett, is a very refreshing take in a modern style with a voice that falls somewhere between Jessica Simpson and Britney Spears. Following this... Who could possibly forget the fantabulous 'Pop Goes My Heart!'? An 80's spoof that does its job by getting right into your head and staying there!
Yeah- all in all, a very worthwhile purchase, one that will be on my computer for some time to come...and go see the movie!!!!!
Amazing! March 23, 2007

Well, how to define this music? Absolutely brilliant, not to mention my favorite "Pop! Goes My Heart" a typical 80's song, although this one could have been easily a hit both then and now. It's amazing that such great effort was done for this song.
The other songs of this soundtrack are great too, and all actors could have been easily have been singers as well, given their talent. Buy it and enjoy it even if you don't usually go for Soundtracks.
Hugh Grant's singing is amazing! February 28, 2007

I loved both the movie and the songs. The chemistry between Hugh and
Drew is great. I rarely buy soundtracks from movies because usually I hate some of the songs. These songs are really catchy and fun to listen to. Hugh Grant does a great job especially since he had to take lessons to sing, dance and play the piano for the part. If he produced his own CD, I would gladly buy it too. I highly recommend it.
Music and Lyrics Album Review June 7, 2007

This enthusiastic album is a great compliment to the big hit Music and Lyrics . If anyone has seen the wacky comedy then get out and but the album. The very well V known actor, Hugh Grant, plays a great role of an old pop star trying to have a come V back in the charts, and is later helped by Drew Barrymoore. Hugh Grant s beautiful voice is very entertaining in this pop hit. The song Pop goes my heart will be playing round and round your head as the sticky lyrics weave their way into your mind. The catchy tune can t help but put a smile on your face. When you re in desperate need of a quick giggle you know where to find one!
The film will have you rolling around in laughter when you first see Hugh Grant strutting his stuff in tight leather trousers, sporting a 60 s haircut and singing this great pop song. The album is a must V have and greatly entertaining. The first pop wonder V song gives you an insight to the rest of the amusing songs to follow. Drew Barrymoore joins Grant in an inspiring duet. The album contains many great songs that you can listen to over and over again without ever tiring of hearing Hugh Grant hit that high note!
Overall, see the film, buy the album, and you ll always have a smile on your face!
