Sun, 30 Jun 2002 10:14:20 GMT

rating: 2/5 by: Epinions Author naphtalia - I like Meryl Streep. I will often watch the first part of a movie she's in just to see what accent she has mastered for a role. As often as not, I end up watching the whole movie. Most of the time, the projects she chooses are ones I enjoy watching...

Thu, 21 Dec 2000 18:37:42 GMT

rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author Alek_Hidell - This time was an accident. Believe me, I would have NEVER rented this movie. First of all it stars Meryl Streep, secondly it's premise seems like any one of the billion "lifting the lives of inner city youth through the power of love and...

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author AnjaliNanda - When I first heard about this movie starring Meryl Streep, it seemed like it would be similar to Mr. Holland's Opus. While such a notion might turn some people away from seeing this movie, I wanted to see it all the more, because I enjoyed Mr...

Sun, 15 Oct 2000 12:52:44 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author elliejo - Music of the Heart might have turned out simply a sentimentalistic noise-of-the-heart melodrama. Director Wes Craven, however, reigns in the emotions and trims them when they threatens to get out of hand, and Meryl Streep’s apt and taut portrayal...

rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author socnorb777 - I watched Music of the Heart with a bit of trepidation, from everything I had heard about it, it sounded like it was going to be one of those tear jerking chick flicks. As a guy, I am not really into those types of movies, but my wife wanted to see...

rating: 1/5 by: Epinions Author raesyles - This movie seemed like it would be decent. A woman trying her hardest to get a music program to succeed in a school system. Well, the makers of this movie should have put as much effort into making this movie as she did into making the music program...

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author linda1527 - Yikes-- I started crying 10 minutes into this movie already. I had passed by it in the video store many times and finally relented. Why I waited so long is beyond me because I absolutely love Meryl Streep. She just blows me away with the roles...

Wed, 12 Jul 2000 14:36:24 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author McCarty - Okay, so now we know that Wes Cravens can do more than direct a horror flick. "Music of the Heart" was enjoyable, and I loved the fact that it was a true story. And what better person to play the part of the leading lady than Meryl Streep, an...

Sat, 8 Jul 2000 17:26:23 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author Super_Granny - Sometimes I am a little slow at renting a movie that I feel I will need a box of Kleenex to watch. After a long week in the office, I prefer to relax and watch something more “upbeat” and a real “no thinker”. In addition, being a life time student of...

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author kcornell - When I rented Music of the Heart, Meryl Streep's latest film, I must admit I put the tape into my VCR with preconceived notions. After all, who hasn't observed Streep's knack for immersing herself into a character, accent and all? I wondered if this...

Tue, 20 Jun 2000 10:48:25 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author ImSharon - I had originally avoided seeing this movie, because, to be honest, I do not much care for Merryl Streep. I find her to be an overly emotional, weepy type of actress. In this movie, however, she did a WONDERFUL job! I was truly amazed and pleased!

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author millymac - "Music of the Heart", which is based on a true story and is therefore NOT a "ripoff" of "Mr.Holland's Opus", is a rare treat. Meryl Streep plays a single mom whose biggest marketable skill is teaching music - violin, to be...
