Fri 02 Feb 2007LOVE IN AMINOR KEYREVIEWED - MUSIC AND LYRICS:UNASHAMEDLY served up as date movie bait for St Valentine's Day, Music and Lyrics is a romantic comedy in which flashes of knowing humour help compensate for yet another utterly conventional yarn in which opposites attract.Hugh Grant lays on some deadpan charm as Alex Fletcher, a faded pop singer working the nostalgia circuit of amusement parks and school reunion parties, trading off his glory days in PoP!, a New Romantics group that scored six number ones in the 1980s.
