Listen to Your Heart (2010)

So much average

An Exercise In Nonsense

This is a must-see and one of the best documentaries - and films - of this year.

All of these films share one commonality, that being a kind of emotional center that humanizes a cast of monsters.

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 Guess you made it! Probably don't remember me but I was the girl that watch your movie in time square and it rained my husband with me and we never saw the end. I'm glad you made it big! See romance never dies! Love is love.....It's all crazy but me and my husband David like to go downtown.so we live in Yonkers and we decided "what we would today" i don't know what to do, a little bit of this, go with the wind. I said to myself "there always something happening in the city. The city that never sleeps. Something always in city keeping you busying. Someone talk to or dancing. So I thank you good folks for making my night interesting. Without you my life would be dull.

This film is uniquely excruciating. Starring Cybill Shepherd as an over-the-top villainous mother, the story centers around an unlikely romance between a rich deaf girl and a poor waiter.Of course, you're thinking- aren't all unlikely-romance movies terrible? Isn't this par for the course? Oh no. It's much worse than you could imagine.The dialog falls into three categories- ridiculous 'heartwarming' stories (there's one about stealing duck eggs), cheesy one-liners, and Cybill Shepherd shouting insanity at other characters. While one character is deaf, the film could be improved if all characters were mute.Music is a recurring theme throughout the story, and the main character is supposed to be a talented singer-songwriter. This conceit wears thin, as the main character sings off-key, and the lyrics, such as they are, will make you beg for death.Yet the true fatal flaw of the film is the outlandish plot. Although set in reality, the events are too ridiculous by far. Whether it's Cybill punishing her daughter for resisting a rapist she sent (!!!), or a main character developing sudden onset incurable brain cancer, everything about the movie is unbearable. Only watch if you intend to make a drinking game out of this atrocity.

This is a somewhat small film, probably made on a small budget, and written by Kent Moran who stars as Danny, the wannabe song writer who works in a small café in New York. One day a wealthy family shows up at one of his tables and he is smitten by Alexia Rasmussen as Ariana. Her mother orders for her, Danny doesn't think too much of this, maybe the girl is just shy, but we know that she is deaf. As they leave, Danny slips her a note saying "you forgot this" and it is his phone number. Not hearing from her after a couple of weeks he is ready to forget her ... until she shows up. She has no phone, she could not call. Her mother is over-protective and tries to dictate all aspects of Ariana's life, even though she is now 21.Cybill Shepherd, who had a very rocky start in her own career, is the controlling mother, Victoria. Her character is a bit of a cliché' but serves its purpose. So the movie is about deaf Ariana working loose of her mother's control, while finding love in this nice guy, the musician and aspiring song writer. There are ups and downs but overall a fairly predictable resolution.Saw it on Netflix streaming movies.SPOILER: Danny gets sick and it turns out he has brain cancer. He starts chemo but it makes him very sick, eventually he rejects it. Before he dies he inspires Ariana to get the implant that will allow her to hear, something her mother wouldn't allow earlier. So he dies, but her hearing lives, the movie ends as she is experiencing the beautiful sounds of the world around her for the first time.
