MIXED Reviews
|
| | | "Convincing only in its sweet and dazzling musical sequences, this overly sincere effort otherwise misses its mark." | | (Variety) | | | “Though the film is sometimes trite and exploits every known cinematic ‘rise-and-fall’ cliche, from streetcorner beginning to stardom, betrayal, breakup and inevitable reunion, the Heartbeats are so endearing and their performances are so engaging that they are hard to dismiss. Townsend is a gifted director, and he gets the most from this cast of relative unknowns." | | (G.K. Nelson, Savoy) | | | "The usual cliched stuff starts off being vibrant and funny. Leave after about half an hour. After that it goes downhill." | | (Rose) | |
