Music and Lyrics

The video for Pop Goes My Heart is given a year of 1984, but the top keyboard being played was the Roland D-50, which did not come out until 1987.

When Alex and Sophie are recording the second take of the song they wrote, Alex starts the computer playing and recording, but when it cuts to a shot from behind them towards the computer, the track is not even playing, let alone recording.

Watch the ring on Alex Fletcher's hand.

It changes between the middle and ring finger multiple times in the movie.

When Alex and Sophie are having breakfast, Alex has a muffin.

When you see him talking to Sophie facing her, you see his muffin.

It goes from eaten out of to untouched repeatedly during the scene.

During some of the scenes in Alex's apartment, there is a bag of Doritos on the coffee table, as they cut back and forth to the table, it appears and disappears randomly.

When Sophie and Alex are having dinner at her sister's house, Alex is served a very large pile of mashed potatoes.

In the next shot, the potatoes are gone.

In the shot after that, they're back.

In the videoclip featuring Alex Fletcher in "Pop goes my heart" an automated infusion pump system is visible.

These kind of intravenous drug administration systems weren't yet available in 1984.

When Alex and Sophie are talking in the "Weight Not" clinic office, the box of files in front of Sophie disappears in one shot.

When Alex and Cora are singing, Cora's hair changes positions during shots.

At the show, Sophie's necklaces changes positions from place to place.

During the scene when Sophie and Alex are having a bite to eat in a café, Sophie's glass of coffee varies throughout the scene.

First it's almost full, then the amount of coffee goes down, and then it goes back up.

It varies from shot to shot.

Near the beginning of the movie, while visiting Alex Fletcher's apartment, Chris Riley sets a can of Diet Coke on the table clearly displaying the name.

Later the can is turned and the label can no longer be read.

When Alex and Sophie are at breakfast, Sophie's cup changes positions several times between shots.

Many times, she will lift the cup to take a drink, then in the next shot the cup is back on the table.

During the coffee house scene where Sophie tells Alex about the book, her hands change positions between shots, from both hands on the table, to her lap and back, depending on whether the shot is facing Sophie or Alex.

During the scene at the City Bakery, both cups change positions many times (Just look at the logos on them) and so do the positions of the characters' hands.

Sophie and the lady with Chris at the restaurant change clothes to make Sophie look better for Sloan.

The Lady is about 6" taller than Sophie but both sets of clothing fit them both perfectly.

There is a scene where Alex and Sophie are walking to the coffee shop.

The camera is traveling behind Sophie and Alex but you can clearly see that the audio is not synchronized with the movement of Alex' lips.

During the scene where Sophie and Alex are in the café and he sings "I've got sunshine on a cloudy day.

" When it cuts to the camera viewing Sophie, you can see that his lips are not synced with his vocals.

In the scene where Sophie and Alex are celebrating their success after delivering their demo to Cora on the helicopter pad, Sophie is laughing and jumping up and down when the camera is focused on her, but she is completely still when the camera is focused on Alex.

This happens throughout their conversation as the camera's focus changes.

Early on in the movie when Chris is visiting at Alex's house, it shows them starting to sit down on the couch.

The camera changes angles and they are up again, starting to sit down.

Another instrument anachronismIn the video for 'Pop Goes My Heart', the bassist is shown playing a Steinberger Synapse series bass guitar.

While aesthetically somewhat similar to Steinberger models in the 1980s, the Synapse line wasn't released until the 2000s.

(Also of notehe's playing a right-handed bass left-handed, but this is somewhat common considering that many models of guitar are and have been unavailable left-handed.

) When Alex and Sophie are in the piano store, and he is trying to convince her to become his lyricist, as he is playing a piano, the camera reveals the inside of the piano, the piano's hammers are not moving even though music can be heard coming from the instrument.

When Alex and Sophie are walking by the bookstore, you can see Sophie's hair looks like her hair color is growing out half-way down her head.

Scenes after that show her hair is fully one color.

In the bakery scene, Alex's muffin switches from being on a plate to being on the table several times.

After Alex leaves the stage his agent says, "You've gotta do the encore".

Alex raises the towel to his face.

Alex says "Do I really have to?' and lowers a bottle of water, instead of the towel.

In the scene where Cora is speaking with Alex in the recording studio control room, she is wearing a shirt that says RAMONES (her hair is covering the S).

When Cora and Alex are singing in the recording studio, her shirt says JOHNNY and has a different logo on it.

When Alex and Cora are singing 'Way Back Into Love' at the concert, there is a shot of Chris and his daughter in the audience, and they turn to look at each other and smile.

The video of this clip has been 'reversed' (it is playing backwards); you can tell by watching the people clapping behind them, and the daughter's hair as she turns her head.

Right when Sophie rearranges the furniture on Alex's apartment, when he says "much better" Sophie smiles at him in a very pleased way and keeps smiling but as the scene goes on the shot changes showing her so concentrated writing, which she was not doing nothing of that at all.

Alex and Sophie are walking down the street where Sophie sees Sloan Cates' book.

Walking on the sidewalk, Sophie looks to her right then hides as if she had seen Sloan Cates on her right, but when she comes out of hiding, the book is on the sidewalk she is on, just a few steps in front of her.

When Alex and Sophie are having breakfast, Sophie's had goes from holding the cup to the cup sitting on the table in the next shot.

In one shot her cup disappears altogether.

When Sophie first visits to water the plants, she cuts herself.

She sets the watering stuff on the piano and Alex picks them up.

After they show Sophie closing the door, Alex switches which hands he is holding the different supplies in.

During Sophie's first visit to Alex' apartment, while she is using the spray bottle on the cactus, she is holding the spray bottle in her right hand with her first two fingers on the "trigger".

In the next shot, she has the side of the first pad of her index finger in her mouth.

Holding the bottle in this way, she could not have hit the cactus with the inside of her finger.

When she returns for the second visit, a bandage is on the second pad of her index finger.

During Sophie's first visit to Alex' apartment, while she is using the spray bottle on the cactus, she is holding the spray bottle in her right hand with her first two fingers on the "trigger".

In the next shot showing her, she has the side of the first pad of her index finger in her mouth.

Holding the bottle in this way, she could not have hit the cactus with the inside of her finger.

When she returns for the second visit, a bandage is on the second pad of her index finger.

This is my definition of the perfect pop movie. Drew and Hugh make us believe in these quirky characters, the music is spot on, the humor perfectly timed.

Although this movie wasn't actually set in the 80s, it certainly had moments that people who loved music in the 80s could appreciate. I guess in a way it's just another Hugh Grant rom com (as well as another Drew Barrymore rom com), but that doesn't mean it wasn't enjoyable.

The first time I saw this, I enjoyed the comedy, but had a hard time believing that love could develop between a man and woman of different generations. After seeing it a second time, though, I caught many of the details that I had missed the first time and it made more sense.

Director/writer Marc Lawrence is kind of a rom-com hack. And that's basically what we have here.

Too many women over acting..under acting...

It's a charming romcom. Good casting and acting.

Well here I am reviewing a film from 2007 in 2020 ..cool eh !!

Love the film. But, it has one scene (breakfast) which must have been filmed when the continuity person was terminated and before the new person was hired.

Millennium romantic comedies tend to follow the formula of a boy and girl seeming neither right for each other nor likely to express initial interest in each other soon forced in shallow and contrived circumstance to spend time together on a project they did not choose and along the way realize they are matched. In this unique movie of this genre television personalities Kristen Johnson and Brad Garrett play scenes with movie personalities Drew Barrymore and Hugh grant who are shorter and more vivacious than they are This creates a visual and sound track interest purely the director's and photographer's genius which keep the familiar story line moving with interest and fascination.
