Listen to Your Heart Trailers

Danny Foster doesn't have much: an apartment as small as his paychecks, no family, and a struggling music career. Yet for him, "every day is a great day to be alive," an attitude he gained from his mother's unwavering optimism during her losing battle with cancer. It's love at first sight when Danny meets Ariana, a wealthy girl from Greenwich, CT who tragically cannot hear the music she inspires him to write. Ariana, hearing impaired since childhood, is torn between hanging onto the shelter her controlling mother provides and fighting for a love that, if given the chance, might just change her life

Reviews
Inclubabu Plot so thin, it passes unnoticed.
Sameer Callahan It really made me laugh, but for some moments I was tearing up because I could relate so much.
Michelle Ridley The movie is wonderful and true, an act of love in all its contradictions and complexity
Lela The tone of this movie is interesting -- the stakes are both dramatic and high, but it's balanced with a lot of fun, tongue and cheek dialogue.
SnoopyStyle 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.
Tom Watkins Wow - a very real story of love and wanting. Hollywood gives you the cliff notes version, full of skin and unrealistic logistics. This movie tells a real story of love, slow and sure and deep and all that true love is. Beautiful shots of NYC. If you are hooked on the hooey that H-wood throws at you, stay away. If you want to relive the memories of your first love, grab some popcorn or good chocolate and get ready to see it all again. Several kissing scenes and a tiny amount of skin - but teach your kids what true love is with this movie and they will never settle for second best. Though this is not a big budget film, it plays like the big ones. Seems that most of the critics are young, not having experienced much in life other than "Life is Good", shallow commitments, living in a throw away society that is blown and tossed about by the wind of their whims that are highly influenced by the me-ness of selfies and social media.

luvkris-498-306033 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........
covergirl10452 In this movie Listen to your Heart, I really enjoyed it for the most part as far as the romance between Danny and Ariana. However, I really hated how the mother interfered with their relationship. That was downright heartless. Plus, I also could not believe she defended that so-called charming gentleman over her daughter. That heifer got mad at her when it wasn't her fault. What kind of mother is that? Victoria guess what? That charming gentleman isn't so charming. It's a good thing that Ariana kicked that bastard in the you know what. He better be glad that she didn't have pepper spray on her. Overall as far as the heartless bitch of a mother, I felt like someone needed to stick a harpoon in her ass. I was super glad when she got slapped in front of everybody. She deserved that big time. Plus, when Ariana and her interpretor took a stand, that was awesome. Victoria guess what? They are done with you. You treat people the way you want to be treated. She treated her interpretor and her daughter like complete trash. Good thing to stand up for what you believe in. No one should have to take this mess. Plus, Ariana hardly talked with her voice throughout the movie. I thought I would never hear her voice. Anyways, when she and Danny finally got a chance to see each other again, he ends up with brain cancer. It really sucked when he died from it later on. And that's when I felt worse for Ariana. When she got a chance to see Danny again, it was over just like that. Basically, that shows that everything happens so fast. I think that they needed more time. That experience reminded me of my grandmother. She died of ovarian cancer. Her death occurred 5 days after I turned 18. I remembered the fact that sometimes my mother and her mother didn't always get along and sometimes I wouldn't get along with my grandmother either, especially when I was little. And when me and my mother finally let her back in our lives, it was over. I already had a feeling that after she was rushed to the hospital she wasn't going to make it because she had difficulties breathing. Like I told my mother it hurt me a lot more than it hurt her. I love you grandma Georgia. Anyways, I love the scene when Ariana put a flower next to Danny's grave and so did her mother because I believe that the mother realized that she made a mistake and that she had been selfish with her. After she gave her daughter her necklace back and hugged her, I think it was a sign that she has her own life to live now. I cried for 2 days based on that scene since I had flashbacks regarding my grandmother. After she died, we moved on with our lives as well.
