Listen to Your Heart

Such a wasted opportunity. The two leads are great and have real chemistry. The scenes between the two (particularly in the first half) are believable and they tell a great story together.

Unfortunately, heavy handed plot choices (particularly the controlling mother and the second half plot turn) undermine everything built in the first 50 minutes. The music is underwhelming as well. It's trying to pull off what "Once" did so well but the songs simply aren't up to the task.

This story and these actors deserved better.

I rented this movie this past weekend and was a little skeptical about it. Here we go another love story..... Surprisingly, I found myself really enjoying the story and the characters. This was a movie that really makes you stop and think about life, love and the choices we make in our lives. It makes you stop and reevaluate the choices you are making and think about what really makes you happy instead of typically doing everything that you are supposed to do or doing everything that makes everyone else happy. The characters are very easy to like and relate to. Danny, the lead male character....well, you can't help but fall in love with. He is sweet, caring and let's face it...not hard to look at!! I think the actor did a great job portraying this character. He made me want to be a better person. I thought the actress who played Arianna did a great job as well. i am sure playing a deaf person has its challenges, but she did a fantastic job at it. The supporting cast was very good as well. Roger and Tony were very enjoyable and added some good laughs throughout. Overall, I would recommend this movie. It's a perfect date night movie or feel good movie to watch over the weekend!

Danny Foster (Kent Moran) is a starving artist in NYC. He's saving money as a waiter to buy equipment to make a music demo. Ariana (Alexia Rasmussen) is a deaf sheltered 21 year old under the control of her domineering mother Victoria (Cybill Shepherd). She decides to study music. Danny gives his number to her at the restaurant and they start dating. When her mother discovers the relationship, she tries to separate them.

The young leads are photogenic and appealing. Cybill Shepherd comes into this movie too hard and doesn't have the nuance. She is an over-the-top controlling mother. There is a big difference between this indie and the best music indies like Once. The music is sub par. It is simple lackluster ballets. I don't know Kent Moran's musical history but it can't be that great. The plot is very sitcomy basically centers around a misunderstanding and then turns into a melodrama. This starts out with some promise and two very nice leads. It deteriorates as the movie gets into the second half.

I saw this movie just last night and I absolutely loved it. :) I was really surprised how taken back by it I was. Before I began to watch it, I saw it had a decent 6.8/10 rating on IMDb, and anything 6 or higher I'll watch. I really grew to love the characters. The relationship between Danny and Ariana is just beautiful. I'm a guy, so I'm not going to comment on the male lead actor's looks. Now the actress who plays the female lead, is so cute and beautiful and gorgeous, but not just that...throughout the movie, she just does such a beautiful job at connecting and developing her relationship with the male lead. I basically just loved how they were both really nice people, very sweet individuals, they weren't criminals or anything, it was such a sweet story. It's like a really smaller scale of The Notebook in my opinion, that's the quality of the film in my opinion. Not only did I grow to love their relationship with each other and how they treated each other, but I just really loved the actress and how she portrayed her character. She was so cute throughout the film that I cried a little. That's how much I enjoyed it. I would love to see her do more romance films, or even bigger films too, I see a lot of great potential for the both of them. :)

I was looking for movies to watch and somehow stumbled upon this movie and I am glad that I did!! What an excellent movie...I experienced all emotions when watching it. It made me feel like nothing is impossible, that you have to fight for what you want and believe in and don't let anyone or anything get in your way!! It is a movie that I will definitely watch again and highly recommend!! I hope he produces another movie as incredible as this one was!! I was very sad with some of the parts of the movie but the way the writer wrote it, you were able to feel happiness right after your tears. The actors did an excellent job as well, its really hard to say anymore without there being spoilers so I guess all I can say is watch the movie, grab a box of Kleenex and live each and every day to the fullest!!!
