Harmony from the Heart

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!

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.

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.

A fresh premise done in a fresh way and done well. This is what I've been waiting for from GACFamilyTV.

For a long time I didn't care for Jessica Lowndes, but recently she has grown on me and this movie makes me a fan. She writes the script, acts and sings including an original song she also wrote. Who cares if there might be a little self-interest in laying out a perfect movie for herself to act and sing. And she sings more than once. The finale is truly excellent.

Lowndes and Metcalfe click all the way through. Acting is good all around and I thought Susan Hogan did a nice job also.

For those who don't know, GACFamily broke away from Hallmark, reportedly with the idea of maintaining traditional values (my own words). They presented a Christmas lineup in 2021 which for me was pretty much the same old stuff and uninspiring, despite signing some veterans of Hallmark movies. I have been rooting for them to succeed, but the Christmas lineup seemed second class in more ways than one. I'm sure I'm a little overenthusiastic about this movie, but it is a sign of hope for future productions. Unfortunately, the path isn't necessarily all roses because this movie relied on some atypical things to make it stand out. Jessica Lowndes singing along with some of the other upbeat music is one of those things. Here's hoping.
