Everything a perfect family movie should have!

"Music of the Heart" is one of the best movies I've ever seen. This movie has it all: comedy, drama, romance, trauma, surprises....and this movie was also very inspiring. This movie (based on a true story) was about a young woman named Roberta Guaspari and she played the violin. After her husband left her and her two kids for another woman, Roberta taught her children how to play the violin and other instruments. They moved to New York City (I think) and she wanted to teach other children how to play the violin so they could actually feel like they could do something right. So, she decided to go to an elementary school and ask if she could be the childrens' violin teacher. The principal of the school at first, didn't want her to teach at her school. And the movie is basically about how Roberta ends up getting the job as a violin teacher and teaching the children (who were very difficult, of course) to play the violin and respect themselves and others. Meryl Streep was so excellent in this movie (the entire cast was) but the only thing I wished was for Gloria Estefan to have a bigger part. She only had like, one or two lines. I mean, she appeared in a lot of the movie, but she didn't really have any lines. Other than that, I think this was the one of the best movies I've ever seen (like I said before) and can't wait to get it on video! And if you've seen this movie or are thinking about seeing it, then I totally encourage you to go out and see it. This is one movie that I think everybody should see! It's worth watching-even if you only end up watching it, once. You still remember the movie. And I almost cried at the end of the movie (and I usually don't cry when I'm watching movies!) so I really encourage you to go out and buy this video. You'll remember the movie for years to come!

Great and Inspiring

This movie is great! It is based on a true story! Before I went to see it I thought it was going to be boring. But right after I started watching it I loved it! I almost cried at the end!It is sad though. It is also very insperational on how this one woman taught these kids that live in Harlem how to play the violin! The song is also very inspiring! Just listen to the words and you can tell! I have already pre-ordered this movie and I would recommend it to anyone. I would also do the same with the album!

Perfection!

This movie is fantastic! Meryl Streep, once again, gives us a flawless performance and , as usual, amazes everyone by making us fell like we're inside the screen, right next to her while she's performing. Gloria Estefan is also great in her debut. This movie is inspireing, and when it's over, gives you that " I feel good about myself" feeling. Every movie should do that.

Time for Kleenex!

Being an educator, ironically, I didn't know if I would like this DVD because I don't teach music. How wrong I was! After renting the movie, I automatically signed on and logged onto Amazon to see if it was available on the "open market." This has to be one of the most inspirational, uplifting, eye-opening movies I have observed in a very long time. I had limited movement due to my cat being asleep on me so the one paper towel I did have became very wet in a short amount of time. If you want to see children light up and the professional community come together for a good cause, this is the movie for you.

But remember, have lots of tissue.
