Harmony from the Heart

Cheesy? Yes. Predictable? Yes. But we don't watch these kinds of movies for plot twists and unexpected endings. I think this movie served its purpose and was definitely cute enough for Valentines. No one watches these kind of feel good movies for the critical acclaim. Ignore the critics and give it a chance.

This movie does not accurately depict music therapy. Also it's music therapy instead of 'musical therapy'. I think the concept was great and set a light to music therapy profession, but maybe consulting a professional music therapist for better delivery. Music therapist also don't 'stay' at patient's house, it's a privacy violation.

Nothing groundbreaking here but Jessica Lowndes is beautiful and talented. She really should be in better movies than this though. Jesse Metcalfe, who I've been a fan of for years , seemed miscast here. The rest of the cast were decent overall, but the actor playing the client needing music therapy because he couldn't speak was hilariously bad. I was laughing at his 'responses' and I don't think that was the intention!

Very nice, enjoyable movie, with a great cast and acting, with the exception of the sick granpa. Jessica and Jesse were such a good fit, with chemistry, talent, great together, the ending a delight. Simplistic plot, story and writing, but came alive beautifully through the leads. Hope to see them together again in a more original one, with more singing from Jesse's part as well.

I'm a board certified music therapist, specifically a neurologic music therapist trained in rehabilitation. The whole music therapy department at my hospital made a drinking game out of this movie with the amount of misrepresentation of our field that was depicted. Really wish the writers would've consulted a music therapist.... cause we're drunk.

Please know that clinical music therapy takes a degree, 1200 clinical hours of training, and passing a board certification exam.

Giving 2 stars because we had a fun time yelling at the TV together.
