Love Song: The Beat of Life

I just recently saw Love Song this weekend. I enjoyed it to a point. I was all into it cause I became a huge fan of Christian Kane. He is one GORGEOUS man. His blue eyes just captivated me. I was hoping for a little more at the end but over all u have the basic girl who wants true love and finds it in a man people think she should not be with.

With two amazing leads (Monica and Christian Kane), and some amazing music, this tv movie that normally would be cheesy and fluff has a real heart and true emotion.

The original songs in the movie are amazing when sung by these talented musicians. And the plot of a young girl, controlled by her family and desire to make them happy for so long, coming into her own strength and realizing what she wants is something different from what they want for her, is really beautiful and moves along nicely.

The interracial aspect was there somewhat, but seeing the relationship between the two leads move along and seeing their feelings grow is really amazing to watch.

If you're in the mood for a romantic comedy with some great music, this is a great movie to watch. (And not too bad for a girls night, as...Christian Kane? Not likely to disappoint any females in the audience ;) ) Definitely gets a 10 out of 10!

I admit it. I'm a total stereotype. I love the good-girl/bad-boy dynamic, and I can't seem to resist a sweaty, passionate musician. All in all, Love Song was the perfect escapist movie for a Friday night alone with the girls. Christian Kane is amazing, and I truly hope they use his incredible talents on Angel more than they have been. The (fake) New Orleans setting was perfect for the music-scene background of the story, and all of the songs were very well written and performed. The only problem I had with this movie was that Monica's acting was inconsistent. Most of the time she seemed to be just trying to wear the appropriate facial expression for the sentence she was saying. However, there were a few times when real emotion broke through, and I hope that if she chooses to continue acting she has more of those moments. Overall, I would highly recommend this movie to anyone who enjoys stories of finding yourself beneath your parents' pressures and dreams of finding Mr Right to sweep you off your feet around the next corner.

This film was much better than I expected it would be - predictable, yes, but that was not unexpected. It's the love story - few are that original. I thought the characters were very well developed and likeable - you grew to really care about the wellbeing and happiness of the main character's. 'Camille's' friends offered a humourous edge whilst Monica herself played Camille brilliantly.

I also really liked the music, it was sort of like 'Save the last dance' in that way. Hiphop meets the Blues. This leads me onto my new point....Christian Kane. Wonderful voice. Just wonderful. I know him as Lindsey McDonald from the TV show 'Angel' - he's what first attracted me to this film. I never thought a long haired man could be so damn attractive (Long-hair, as a rule, is a no-no).

There were a lot of chemistry between the characters, thanks to Monica's and Christian's talents of acting.

I give it a high rating of 8/9 out of 10, losing marks for being quite cheesy - otherwise highly enjoyable.

See it!

Like many people, I thought that the movie would be pure fluff. But I watched it because I am an idealistic person at heart. I was pleasantly surprised. It was a good story, the acting could have been better but that's true of many movies. Believe it or not, It is possible to fall in love with someone in a week's time especially when you are already open to the idea of making a change in your life. It is definitely possible when the object of your affection is someone with whom you feel mutual trust, respect, admiration , attraction and support. It also helps matters when the object of your affection is Christian Kane. He is undeniably sexy. I have seen the movie 3 times and I'm not the target audience. I'm 33 years old and married but I understand the true message of the movie-Follow your heart. Even if others don't agree with you, you have to do what makes you happy. Too many of us try to do things to please others and we never find fulfillment in our own lives because we don't spend enough time and energy doing what makes us happy. People should not be bothered by the interracial aspect of the movie. Camille did not fall in love with Billy because he was rich or white, she fell in love with him because they had shared interests, he understood her, he listened to her and he supported her goals. Isn't that what we all look for in a mate? That's why the movie is universally appealing. It's something that we can all relate to.
