    The great cheesy love story

    Accually I did find the movie funny in most parts. Patrick Dempsey was coming out of his geek days and he actually started to look like "A younger McDreamy". Molly Ringwald CANNOT sing to save her life but you cant hate her for that. Her character made me laugh a lot during the movie. What is the deal with Patrick Dempsey and adultery? every movie/show i have seen of him thats what is is doing. (but can you blame the women?)The plot was likable. This movie was very predicable and also pretty short. I did like the movie producers nephew...he was great, and super funny. At the beginning of the movie I wondered if it was ever worth watching but about 30 minutes into the movie I really liked it a lot. over all I'll give it a B.

    Cut, fun, funny, lighthearted

    This movie is very underrated. I believe that the people who rated it didn't really give it a chance.

    The chemistry between Lisa and Charlie, played by Molly Ringwald and Patrick Dempsey, seems legitimate. The only thing I wish were different would be Julie and Daniel admitting each other's feelings for one another. Other than that, it was a pleasant and enjoyable film overall.

    Face the Music Doesn't Quite Make the Beat **1/2

    To the other people who have evaluated this film: I have seen a lot worse.

    The story centers around a young couple who write and win an award for the best song in a film. While on the dais, the guy (Patrick Dempsey), proposes marriage. You would think this would be the perfect ending. Rather, it's an imperfect beginning to a rather fair film.

    The couple soon divorce due to a misunderstanding and go their separate ways. Fast forward to several years later, where Dempsey, now in real-estate and engaged to wed his partner, meets up with his ex-wife. (Molly Ringwald They are given the opportunity to write a song for Moishe, yes I mean Moishe, who is now happily wed to his wife Christine. Moishe and Christine? Lord bless those inter-faith marriages!

    This highly predictable film is noteworthy for its light comedy. Will they write the hit song? How will they be drawn back into love? It's highly predictable but somewhat amusing.

    You can face this music.

    Pretty good movie, not as bad as some people say!

    I was looking through what movies Patrick Dempsey had been in on this site, and I found that he was in this and that Molly Ringwald was in it too, and I really like her too. So I decided to get it, it was only £1 something for a new copy on amazon. I had read bad reviews of it but it was so cheap that even if I didn't like it, it wasn't like I was wasting money, and I'm glad I got it now, as it was quite good and I would watch it again.

    It wasn't the best movie i've ever seen, and it was slow and a bit boring in some parts, and Lysette's character even though I think she's a good actress (I've liked her in other things too like The Bill), her character was very annoying. But I did like Molly and Patrick's characters in this, and that Donnie guy was quite funny.

    It really is worth watching if you're a fan of Patrick or Molly, or even both like me. Patrick looks gorgeous in it! So I think even if I hadn't of liked the storyline at all, I still would have enjoyed watching it for him.

    I really thought it had some cute moments in it too, especially at the end!

    Baffled by the hatred for this film

    OK, the story is fairly predictable, and the music is hardly great, though I've heard much worse singers than Molly Ringwald in my time. But I enjoyed this film, which is full of quirky characters and situations. The movie producer's nephew Donny steals quite a few scenes, and there's a very odd workman whose scenes give the impression that possibly some subplot involving him has been cut. That's not to say the two leads do a bad job, and I enjoyed watching both Molly Ringwald as Lisa (lyrics) and Patrick Dempsey as Charlie (composer). Lysette Anthony does her best with her role as the new woman in Charlie's life though the script perhaps could have been a bit more subtle where she's concerned.

    I can imagine this film as a thirties screwball comedy, or perhaps as a stage farce, and it might have been funnier and better directed in either case, but I still find it oddly enjoyable.

    This isn't a film that takes itself too seriously, and if you come to it willing to be entertained rather than looking to rip it to shreds you probably won't be as disappointed as the 1/10 reviews suggest.

      When Charlie introduces Lisa to Daniel, he calls her Lisa Hunter Hollis. With Hunter being what was Lisa's married surname and Hollis her maiden surname, it should have been Lisa Hollis Hunter instead.
