"Music & Lyrics"

Cute romantic comedy. A fine popcorn movie (satisfying on superficial levels, but not nutritious).
Take your mom and dad, take your 13-year-old niece. I don't think there's much that would offend anyone in this movie. OK, maybe unwed sex but that's it. Even the language isn't very bad.
A lot of the humor is geared to the 35-45 year-old crowd, people who remember MTV when they played videos.
It's just a sweet movie with nothing to recommend against it, unless you don't like either Drew Barrymore or Hugh Grant. Brad Garrett has a very funny manager/sidekick role as well.

Is it too much to demand...

You know that Mary Chapin Carpenter song "Passionate Kisses"? That's how I'm feeling.
Is it too much to ask for an intelligent, funny, non-alcoholic man who drinks a little and looks good with his shirt off? The shirt, as my track record indicates, is the first requested trait to go. Really.
I've been flirting with a man I've known for about 15 years, whom I have adored since the day I met him. I almost picked a fight with my then-boyfriend who introduced us so I could be with this one, I didn't because I thought calling after meeting once would be presumptuous.
It's driving me nuts to want someone this much and to be afraid to make a move because I don't want to scare off the friend he is. AARGH.
