Listen to Your Heart (2010)

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.

To be honest, when I first saw the trailer for this movie I thought it is just another ordinary love story, just another two people falling in love, just another movie with a happy ending. I was wrong. Listen to your heart is a movie who will stop you, even just for a second, and tell you to think about life you are living, to think about persons you love. It will open your eyes and and change the way you look into the world. I think this movie is not just a love story, it is love itself.The moment I loved the most is when Ariana said that dreams actually do come true. All you have to do is fight for them. It doesn't matter if you may fail, if you fall down, it matters that you tried and who knows, maybe you will succeed. Just imagine when you could do something beautiful for yourself, when you could make your own dreams come true. Just imagine what a great day it would be. So everyone who is reading this. Stand up and make your dreams come true because it's a great day to be alive. It's a great day to show your family, your friends and your love ones how much you love them. Be happy with who you are because that's you, and no one can change that. You are beautiful and you can make it. This movie will prove that to you. It will give you hope and motivation, it will learn you a lot of things and lead you through your life. You will see the beauty of music, but mostly the beauty of love.All I can say is, stand up and listen to your heart.

What a wonderful story! Very touching story about true love and true friendship. The fact that the main characters are primarily unknown makes the story feel more real and you feel so connected to the characters. The music is also perfect! Very moving! He made the music for this movie and incorporated the songs into the story. My wife is deaf and I am hearing and this movie hits so many moments that I can relate to. This movie will always hold a special place for me. Don't want to give too much away. So watch this movie. It's a tear jerker. Actually watching it again right now which inspired me to write this review. Enjoy........

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.
