When a movie has you begging for it to end not even half way through it's pure crap. We've all seen this movie and this characters millions of times, nothing new in it. Don't waste your time.

An old-fashioned movie made with new-fashioned finesse.

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

Nick O is wonderful in this. It was nice to see him in a lead role. Well deserved! The music was really good throughout the film. I came home and looked up all of the artists. Won't be surprised if it gats a nod from the Oscars

'HEARTS BEAT LOUD': Four and a Half Stars (Out of Five)A comedy-drama music film about a record store owner and his daughter who experience the fame of having a song they wrote and recorded together go viral. It was directed by Brett Haley, and it was written by Haley and Marc Basch (the same duo performed the same duties on 2017's 'THE HERO'). The movie stars Nick Offerman, Kiersey Clemons, Toni Collette, Sasha Lane, Ted Danson and Blythe Danner. It's received mostly positive reviews from critics, and it's playing in indie theaters now (like Portland). I really enjoyed it. Frank Fisher (Offerman) has been running a record store for 17-years now, but since his landlady, Leslie (Collette), recently raised the rent, he can no longer afford to keep his dying business open. Frank's wife died in a bicycling accident several years earlier, and it's been really hard on their daughter Sam (Clemons). Sam is falling in love with Rose (Lane), as she also prepares to leave for college (to become a doctor). Frank and Sam record a song together they wrote one night, and Frank posts it to Spotify. The song becomes a huge hit, and this changes the father and daughter's lives for the good. The best part of the film is it's music. The songs the father and daughter write and perform together are really catchy and enjoyable. The comedy and drama of the film is also really well written, and Offerman is good in the lead. The movie is also another great film about record stores, and music lovers, it's even a little reminiscent (to me) of 'HIGH FIDELITY' at times. I really enjoyed it, mostly because of the music.

A movie that is so painfully dull and uninteresting it made me want to wrap myself in barbed wire and drink a whiskey glass full of drano. There are definitely worse movies out there, at least every shot in this is in focus, but it was so painfully on the nose with all its phony sentimentality that I wanted to die. At one point I rolled my eyes so far into the back of my head that I saw a different dimension and my nose began to bleed. Anyways whatever. I seem to be the only one who didn't like this so I'll shut up.

A movie that's not so empty and not so vibrant. Portraits life around us in a much simpler version with lots of tiny its and bits with a boost of feel good music.
Loved it
