Enter now for your chance to win cool movie prizes in the News4Jax.com Entertainment contest in conjunction with the Warner Bros. Pictures release of the romantic comedy "Music and Lyrics."

The Movie
Alex Fletcher (Hugh Grant) is a washed-up '80s pop star who's been reduced to working the nostalgia circuit at county fairs and amusement parks. However, the charismatic and talented musician gets a chance at a comeback when reigning pop diva, Cora Corman, invites him to write and record a duet with her.

But there's a problem -- Alex hasn't written a song in years, he's never written lyrics -- and he has to come up with a hit in a matter of days.

Enter Sophie Fisher (Drew Barrymore), Alex's beguilingly quirky plant lady, whose flair for words strikes a chord with the struggling songwriter.

On the rebound from a bad relationship with the newly famous novelist Sloan Cates (Campbell Scott), Sophie is reluctant to collaborate with anyone, especially commitment-phobe Alex.

As their chemistry heats up at the piano and under it, Alex and Sophie will have to face their fears --and the music -- if they want to find the love and success they both deserve.

The film also stars Brad Garrett as Alex's steadfast manager, Chris Riley, and Kristen Johnston as Sophie's sister, Rhonda -- who happens to be one of Alex's biggest fans. Newcomer Haley Bennett plays young pop princess Cora.

Rated PG-13 by the Motion Picture Association of America for some sexual content, "Music and Lyrics" opens in theaters nationwide Feb. 14.

The Contest

Prizes Courtesy Of Warner Bros.

One grand-prize winner will be selected at random to receive an ION USB Turntable -- to digitize your great vinyl collection from the 80's -- an iPod Nano Red Special Edition -- to play all your newly converted MP3 files -- and a "Music and Lyrics" movie soundtrack CDs from Atlantic Records. In stores Feb. 13, the CD features new songs performed by Grant, Barrymore and Bennett.

In addition, the grand-prize winner will receive a"Meaningless Kiss" T-shirt from Lyric Culture.

Inspired by original music from "Music and Lyrics," Lyric Culture has designed limited-edition T-shirts. "Meaningless Kiss," a song off the soundtrack for "Music and Lyrics," performed by Hugh Grant and produced by Adam Schlesinger from the chart-topping band Fountains of Wayne, is the point of inspiration for the T-shirt.

The limited-edition "Meaningless Kiss" T-shirts will be available to purchase from select high-end retailers throughout the U.S. and online at www.lyricculture.com.

Five runners-up will be selected at random to receive a "POP! 80's Fan" tote, a gray "Music and Lyrics" hooded T-shirt and an American Apparel men's red "POP! 80's Fan" T-shirt.

All prize packages subject to change.
