So just do that. Think about it. Danny : Look man, I'm not gonna miss out on something that could be great just cause it might also be hard. Sign In. Play trailer Drama Music Romance.

Cybill Shepherd Victoria as Victoria. Frank Watson Roger as Roger. SnoopyStyle 17 July 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. Was this review helpful?
Sign in to vote. Not particularly original coming of age story, but pleasant to view. TxMike 15 March One day a wealthy family shows up at one of his tables and he is smitten by Alexia Rasmussen as Ariana. Her mother orders for her, Danny doesn't think too much of this, maybe the girl is just shy, but we know that she is deaf. As they leave, Danny slips her a note saying "you forgot this" and it is his phone number.
Not hearing from her after a couple of weeks he is ready to forget her She has no phone, she could not call. Her mother is over-protective and tries to dictate all aspects of Ariana's life, even though she is now Cybill Shepherd, who had a very rocky start in her own career, is the controlling mother, Victoria.
So the movie is about deaf Ariana working loose of her mother's control, while finding love in this nice guy, the musician and aspiring song writer.
There are ups and downs but overall a fairly predictable resolution. Saw it on Netflix streaming movies. He starts chemo but it makes him very sick, eventually he rejects it. Before he dies he inspires Ariana to get the implant that will allow her to hear, something her mother wouldn't allow earlier. So he dies, but her hearing lives, the movie ends as she is experiencing the beautiful sounds of the world around her for the first time.
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.
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 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. I just swooned the entire time.
No shame. I listened to the audio version of this book and the narrator, Nora Hunter, did a great job bringing Kate to life. Kate is a bit of a snarky teenager. While taking a podcast class in highschool, she thinks she will be doing behind the scenes stuff. Then, after her idea for a advice show wins, she is made to co-host the podcast.
This is not what Kate wants. Not at all. Hosting is something her best friend Alana wants to do, not her. Kate becomes the sarcastic sidekick of the podcast and people actually love her advice.
If only she could give herself some advice… Kate develops a crush as the story goes on. A crush on Diego. I adored Diego from the moment I first met him. When the revelation about him was made something I hoped was true from the start I squealed in delight. It makes things rather complicated. I loved that she saw herself in a new light after doing the podcast and saw that life outside of the lake- her comfort zone- did exist.
She was a fun character and made me laugh. Then Diego. He was the sweetest. I just loved him. And towards the end she really annoyed me with the whole Frank thing. It was obvious she liked him, but she was holding this torch for Diego even knowing that Kate had legit feelings.
Overall, this was an enjoyable audio. Pros - the mc was likeable and has this massive family extra points for big fams - while the whole premise is very common, there wasn't cringey, unnecessary drama and i appreciate that - i loved the idea of the podcast and the advice thing!
This is now my second favorite, after On The Fence. A perfect summer read if I do say so myself even though it isn't summer right now where I live you get what I mean. The writing was simple and it made the book all the more enjoyable. She'd much rather spend all her time on the lake in her family's marina. Our Books. Book Search. Listen to Your Heart.
