5.0 out of 5 stars Awsome NOT TO BE MISSED!!!!, 10 Aug 2004
By A Customer
This review is from: The Five Heartbeats [DVD] [1991] [Region 1] [US Import] [NTSC] (DVD)
I first saw this film approx 11 years ago on tv.
It is a very well made story of the five heartbeats and is very funny in places and very touching when you see what the group and the manager went through.
I highly recommend that if you can get the soundtrack then get it
as that is good as well.
This is one film and soundtrack that i watch and listen to over and over again............

5.0 out of 5 stars A real, honest, and memorable film you must appreciate., 31 Aug 2007
By Jenny J.J.I. "A New Yorker" (That Lives in Northern Nevada) - See all my reviews
(TOP 500 REVIEWER)   
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.

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."

"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.
