Karry Best movie of this year hands down!

VeteranLight I don't have all the words right now but this film is a work of art.

Rosie Searle It's the kind of movie you'll want to see a second time with someone who hasn't seen it yet, to remember what it was like to watch it for the first time.

Curt Watching it is like watching the spectacle of a class clown at their best: you laugh at their jokes, instigate their defiance, and "ooooh" when they get in trouble.

ozlock This is, at best, a fairly good TV movie. It is predictable but starts with an interesting premise. It appears that the positive opinions were mostly generated by virtue of Jude Law having been it. It is the ultimate Chick Flick.The actors are rather good. Gretchen Mol was fantastic in "...Betty Page" and is likely to become a super star. Actually she is much more attractive ten years later. Also, the makeup is quite bad.Piven is a class actor of the Chicago school. Although I am not a fan, Martha Plimpton is an OK actor. Jane Adams too is a fine actress.Bottom line, this is a poorly written, shabbily directed movie that is more intent upon wisecracks than real dialog.

wes-connors As a little boy, Jude Law (as Danny Kowalski), helped deliver a baby. Because his hand was small, young "Danny" (Cory Buck) was able to reach in, and uncurl the umbilical cord from around the neck of the baby. So, the baby girl is born healthy; and, the little boy, who will grow up to be Jude Law, declares, "I'm gonna marry her." Twenty-five years later, Law returns to Los Angeles, from an education in London. He loses his girlfriend, and has trouble finding employment; he's a tile artist. Then, while delivering a cake, he returns to the house where he long ago delivered the baby; she has grown into beautiful Gretchen Mol (as Anna Swan). Law falls madly in love with Ms. Mol, and wants to fulfill his childhood pledge to marry her; but, she is pledged to another man.Swan family matriarch Brenda Blethyn (as Grace Swan) enables womb-reaching Law to become a employee/companion to the family; but, despite his close quarters, he finds Mol a tough love-nut to crack. Law is a very likable leading man, but his romantic interest in, and rapport with, Mol is nil. He might have been better off considering Martha Plimpton (as Karen Swan). The most entertaining relationship occurs between blind sister Jennifer Tilly (as Nina Swan) and Spanish savior Vincent Laresca (as Jesus). By the way, they meet in a nightclub where males are stabbed for refusing accept an invitation to dance; still, the place is crowded.Director/writer Charlie Peters includes many references to Tolstoy's "Anna Karenina". Julian Lennon's "Day After Day" leads off a sweet soundtrack. In short, the leading relationship would have been more interesting with Ms. Plimpton as "Anna". Ms. Blethyn and Mr. Laresca contribute strong supporting characterizations.***** Music from Another Room (4/24/98) Charlie Peters ~ Jude Law, Gretchen Mol, Jennifer Tilly

starseednaveed Let's get one thing straight - a film is made for entertainment purposes only. Unless you look at "March Of Tne Penguins". A film is not made to be perfect or to contain 100% correct information. No one is perfect, so stop bad mouthing every single film ever made, so what if they didn't get it right about the baby in the beginning, you have a PHD in Biology or whatever? I doubt it. It's a film, watch it and enjoy it or don't bother watching it. I enjoyed it, I like Rom-Coms. It's a good film, with good acting, and a good storyline. Jennifer Tilly is an amazing actress; perfect for her role, I'm sure it was extremely difficult to play an innocent, blind girl, and we all know how wild Ms Tilly was in the 80/90's! She managed it. And Gretchen Mol, fantastic, I hope to see her more in the future!

George Parker "Music From Another Room" is a romantic comedy with the sweetly sentimental flavor of a Hallmark or Disney production mixed with the occasional reality check to keep the goo from getting too thick. Sporting a fine cast, this dreamy film about a motley family and birth and death and love offers a fun scene to scene linear flow, keeps the sentimentality in check, builds its predictable love story, and manages several subplots all the while holding interest and easing a somewhat difficult buy-in resulting in a good all around romantic flick. Not for cynics, "Music From Another Room" will play best with sentimentalists. (B)
