Starring Omarion Grandberry, Victor Rasuk, Zulay Henao, and Giancarlo Esposito
After a run-in with local thugs, aspiring Harlem rapper Rob flees to a place and father he never knew, and finds his salvation in Reggaeton, a spicy blend of hip-hop, reggae and Latin beats. Puerto Rico, the spiritual home of Reggaeton, inspires Rob and his half-brother Javi to pursue their dream of becoming Reggaeton stars. Together with a dancer named C.C., they learn what it means to stay true to themselves and each other, while overcoming obstacles in love, greed and pride, all culminating in an explosive performance at New York's Puerto Rican Day Parade.

New York Daily News Elizabeth Weitzman
The plot is contrived, the performances are all over the board, and Chomski's camera ogles his actresses just a little too much.
Read Full Review >The New York Times Andy Webster
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.
Read Full Review >Boston Globe Ty Burr
Old story, new beat: That sums up Feel the Noise, an acceptable if resolutely average low-budget drama set in the New York/Puerto Rican musical melting pot known as reggaeton.
Read Full Review >TV Guide Maitland McDonagh
Painfully cliched. The music is throbbing and the leads are cute, but there's nothing here viewers haven't seen before.
Read Full Review >The Hollywood Reporter Frank Scheck
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.
Read Full Review >Austin Chronicle Josh Rosenblatt
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.
Read Full Review >The Onion (A.V. Club) Nathan Rabin
Reggaeton has officially come of age: The burgeoning subgenre now has a terrible, opportunistic exploitation movie to call its own.

Tired. Same ol' lame story. Nothing that hasen't been seen before. Even thou Raggaeton is slowly fading (trends change), this movie has put the final nail in the coffin. Thanks alot Miss Lopez, thanks for nothing!!!!!!!
Chad S. gave it a6:
"Feel the Noise" is an odd duck. Shot on a shoestring budget, this gritty-looking film has very little profanity, or sex. The music is authentic, but the environment it hails from isn't. In spite of this bifurcation, "Feel the Noise" gets by with some very appealing performances. We know Victor Rasuk and Melonie Diaz from "Raising Victor Vargas"(the latter is heartbreaking in "A Guide to Recognizing Your Saints"), but we didn't know who Zulay Henao was. We do now. She's a knockout. "Feel the Noise" has a storyline that is mind-numbingly predictable. The story about a troubled boy who leaves the ghetto for a better life feels familiar. Instead of joining a drumline, Rob(Omarion Grandberry) is indoctrinated into the world of reggaeton. He and Javi(Victor Rasuk) form a band. They're good enough to record a demo in New York, but Rob breaks the deal when their producer America-nizes their Puerto Rican sound. Since Javi has some Hispanic blood in him, he's the one who should make the stand against compromise and selling out. Early in "Feel the Noise", their father(Giancarlo Esposito) acts as a mouthpiece for the film's agenda of showing how the colonized rises up against its colonizer when he talks about Puerto Rico's status as the oldest country under colonial rule.

Fun and Sexy, great music!
J B. gave it a0:
This movie was awful. Dragging, boring, didn't have a good plot. Jennifer Lopez could have done better. Came out of the theater with a HUGE headache. Everyone in the theater was booing.
Brendan A. gave it a1:
Lazy script-writers don't bother hiding how artifically manipulative and emotionally kitsch they are. Passive feel-good commercial for Puerto Rico and Reggaeton.
Alba R gave it a0:
Piece of crap, Jennifer Lopez does not know jack about reggaeton, jack about Puerto Rico and obviously doesnt know jack about producing! This film is horrible and full of stereotypes its ridiculous, and the story line simply sucks! Too bad this movie is seen as the advocate to reggaeton!
