Critic Reviews
-
Renee Schonfeld, Common Sense Media
The rise and fall of a flashy, fictional 1960s rock group.
-
Scott Weinberg, DVDTalk.com
The charitable might be tempted to describe The Five Heartbeats as wholesome and well-intentioned -- but so is a 6-year-old who just crayon-scrawled "I love cookies" on the living room wall.
-
Bob Bloom, Journal and Courier (Lafayette, IN)
An underrated drama about the ups and downs of a Temptations-like r&b group with solid acting and fine music. If you haven't seen it, rent it. It's worth it.
-
Walter Chaw, Film Freak Central
A once or future 'VH1 movie that rocks.'
