A real, honest, and memorable film you must appreciate.
I've seen this wonderful movie several times and can honestly say this; The movie itself is dramatic, funny, moving, exciting, and intriguing. Needless to say that the sets are great and music is fantastic. I especially applaud the entire cast on such memorable acting performances. The movie was written by Keenen Ivory Wayans and directed Robert Townsend whom both emits a universal message through this film. Message being; No matter what happens in life, ups and downs, good or bad, gains or losses-we must lift ourselves through it and keep on pushing for the better ,no matter what. Just like in the song feature-"No matter how hard it gets, we haven't finished yet". I can say without a doubt that this movie took me through just about every basic human emotion possible in its 120 minute cycle. That in itself makes the movie compelling and realistic. br / br /Robert Townsend used his comedic skill to really spice up lots of other fun scenes in the movie. Almost everyone who I know who saw the movie liked it, and I personally think it has become a classic work in its own right. Sadly this film was certainly overlooked. Micheal Wright also put out a great performance, as the mercurial Eddie King Jr., the original lead singer of "The Five Heartbeats." br / br /"The Five Heartbeats" is a great ride for people of practically all ages (R rating withstanding of course), as well as all races, genders, and backgrounds. Although the movie is based on an Old-School singing group/hats off to the excellent production of the songs in the movie too. It's one of those movies that make an ideal collector to pop-in the machine on a rainy day or to just put in when friends drop by. I recommend this to those who love a good story.
