Such a wasted opportunity. The two leads are great and have real chemistry. The scenes between the two (particularly in the first half) are believable and they tell a great story together.Unfortunately, heavy handed plot choices (particularly the controlling mother and the second half plot turn) undermine everything built in the first 50 minutes. The music is underwhelming as well. It's trying to pull off what "Once" did so well but the songs simply aren't up to the task.This story and these actors deserved better.

The film makes you look to the life and the value and how you can live every moment in which,,,, and makes you try to restore your accounts in this life and thanks God everything and you enjoy the things denied to many, however they live their lives like you and they can be, enjoying it more you This movie really made me look at my life,,, Do I really listened to my heart???? Do you enjoy every moment where ??????? And many, many of the questions that came in my mind .. There is actually a film could change your life and this film of this type Without that I feel and I'm watching a movie and have found tears filled my face, especially when in the hospital Sam said to Danny I love you,,,,, Without a doubt I think this film is the greater.

This is a somewhat small film, probably made on a small budget, and written by Kent Moran who stars as Danny, the wannabe song writer who works in a small café in New York. One day a wealthy family shows up at one of his tables and he is smitten by Alexia Rasmussen as Ariana. Her mother orders for her, Danny doesn't think too much of this, maybe the girl is just shy, but we know that she is deaf. As they leave, Danny slips her a note saying "you forgot this" and it is his phone number. Not hearing from her after a couple of weeks he is ready to forget her ... until she shows up. She has no phone, she could not call. Her mother is over-protective and tries to dictate all aspects of Ariana's life, even though she is now 21.Cybill Shepherd, who had a very rocky start in her own career, is the controlling mother, Victoria. Her character is a bit of a cliché' but serves its purpose. So the movie is about deaf Ariana working loose of her mother's control, while finding love in this nice guy, the musician and aspiring song writer. There are ups and downs but overall a fairly predictable resolution.Saw it on Netflix streaming movies.SPOILER: Danny gets sick and it turns out he has brain cancer. He starts chemo but it makes him very sick, eventually he rejects it. Before he dies he inspires Ariana to get the implant that will allow her to hear, something her mother wouldn't allow earlier. So he dies, but her hearing lives, the movie ends as she is experiencing the beautiful sounds of the world around her for the first time.

I liked this movie, as a cute, though not particularly deep, romance... likable main characters, very unlikable "anti"characters, but be warned... spoilers!!!! A sweet initial plot of a young musician who falls for a deaf girl who is cruelly sheltered by a controlling mother, this movie appeared to be a light romance. However, this movie had a tragically sad ending, with one of the main characters dying young of cancer. If you are, like I was,looking for a light romantic movie, be warned! This movie will make you cry. My husband and I have both lost people we love from cancer, and this was not a movie we would have chosen if we had known! It was not a bad movie, but watcher beware... not quite as cute and light as it initially seemed!
