Rico in this musical drama from producer Jennifer Lopez. Rob (Omarion Grandberry) is a New York City rapper who has gotten into hot water in his hometown, and now must flee to Puerto Rico. Upon arriving at his father's home in the Caribbean commonwealth, Rob immediately forms a bond with his half-brother, Javi, who introduces his distant sibling to the seductive sounds of Reggaeton. Rob and Javi's outwardly divergent musical tastes ultimately blend to form a unique new brand of hip-hop-flavored reggae, and they soon begin to gain a loyal following that ultimately leads them both back to New York City. Yet despite Rob's growing popularity in the music industry, the gangsters back in the Bronx are still hell-bent on revenge, and willing to gun him down at the first chance they get. Is Rob's newfound status as a high-profile musical innovator enough to make him bulletproof, or could it be that he's more vulnerable than ever now that he's up on-stage for all the world to see? ~ Jason Buchanan, Rovi

    A 90-minute reggaeton music video and soundtrack commercial.

    Great movie! Great music!

    Kind of an odd title for a latino dance movie. Sounds like something a deaf metal band might use for a concert tour.

    This is an okay movie. It makes me sad that the selling point for this movie is that it was produced by Jennifer Lopez. Did I for get to mention that her and Marc Anthony have a cameo? What a stupid way to market your movie. The plot isn't original or very satisfying, but if it i... read mores the only movie laying around to watch it isn't the worst option.

    the plot was really fragmented and I'm pretty sure the guy isn't really singing. It was okay though. Nothing special.

    This movie was horrible. It was all over the place. There were so many holes in the story line. I can't believe that J.Lo backed this movie up.

    I was hearing the noise and not feeling the moive. It was just dumb. No real dancing or music to it. I was bored

No one will mistake director Alejandro Chomski's Feel the Noise for great drama. But there's an undeniable sweetness to the characters, the performers are highly appealing, and the music sizzles.

Could have used more music. Full Review

It's the subtexts -- about minority kinship and Hispanic self-actualization -- that resound. If only its fable (and leading man) didn't keep getting in the way.

Elizabeth Weitzman, New York Daily News

The plot is contrived, the performances are all over the board, and Chomski's camera ogles his actresses just a little too much. Full Review

Instead of trying to find the heartbeat of reggaetón, the movie resorts to teen conventions, banking that its target audience -- Latino teens, who don't often see themselves onscreen -- won't know eno... Full Review

For whatever reason you go to a movie like this, the results are bound to disappoint. Full Review

...a music-fueled drama with far less substance than most CD liner notes. Full Review

A cool blend of Puerto Rican and Nuyorican rhythmic, racial and family ties that bind, Feel The Noise likewise taps into a hot fusion of African derived sounds and sensibilities that connect those mul... Full Review

It's hard to fault a screenwriter for cramming every idea he's ever had about anything into his first movie for fear there won't be a second. Full Review
