MPAA RATING: PG-13 for sexual content, violence, some drug use, language and innuendos
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.

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!!!!!!!

"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.

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.

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!
