Music and Lyrics (2007)

This concerns the efforts of a pop singer and composer who had a brief period of fame back in the 1980s and is now trying to revive his moribund career. Romantic interest is provided by a young woman whom he hires to help him with the lyrics, and who was once an aspiring writer.

The plot is thin as ice, but there is a certain charm in some of the dialogue, and the casting was felicitous. The music video that opens the film is a masterpiece of 80s style emulation, both in image and in sound.
