The film is about a old age PoP singer Alex Fletcher (Hugh Grant) who’s living reclusive life, and one fine day he gets an opportunity to write and compose a song for current singing sensation Cora (Helly Bennet). This well may be Alex last chance for the limelight he’s longing for. There enters our lady Sophie Fisher (drew Barrymore) who’s a gifted writer but actually hasn’t somehow realized her potential as yet. She helps Alex get the right lyrics and also love in his life.
Fans of Hugh Grant and Drew Barrymore will not be disappointed - She plays to perfection the manic, almost dipsy character that has been her trademark. Though Hugh's character is a bit more subdued than we often see from him,, with no hint of the lovable jerk he has done so well in other films, understatement suits both the character and the older, more seasoned actor. And at times you can’t help but to remember another my favourite Hugh Grant movie, Notting Hill, but yeah, I am not drawing any comparison here.
The story is kind of predictable but this truly is both charming and funny, which is not always an easily-achievable combination. It never gets contrived, heavy-handed or mean-spirited, and just as importantly, it has heart.
Recommended if you see romance in Air. Like i can see right now.. such lovely breeze blowing outside. You rarely get this weather in Gurgoan.
Anyway.. Happy Independence to you all.
