I must warn you -- Being a guy, I had pretty low expectations to begin with. However, there were a couple of things I enjoyed:
1) The movie was funny.
-- Hugh Grant's one-sentence witty remarks came out natural and funny.
-- Their ability to poke fun of two distinct musical decades could be better, but still turned out pretty funny.
2) The plot was novel (at least to me).
-- "Meshing" the two music periods (the 80's and today) in the same movie provided a good way to contrast the two styles.
-- Since I'm not so familiar with the music industry, I enjoyed the "behind the scenes" with the trial and error of coming up with lyrics (at least in the way the movie portrays it.)
Other than that, it was the typical "chic-flick." Guy has problem with girl, he says some bad things, stir up some emotional scene and the usual -- will they get back together?
Other than that, if you're just looking for a good laugh, I'd give it a go!
