    "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.… Expand

    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.

    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!

    Lazy script-writers don't bother hiding how artifically manipulative and emotionally kitsch they are. Passive feel-good commercial for Puerto Rico and Reggaeton.

    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!!!!!!!

    Painfully cliched. The music is throbbing and the leads are cute, but there's nothing here viewers haven't seen before.

    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.
