Leave your thoughts about The Five Heartbeats.
| Common Sense MediaRenee SchonfeldThe rise and fall of a flashy, fictional 1960s rock group. |
| DVDTalk.comScott WeinbergThe charitable might be tempted to describe The Five Heartbeats as wholesome and well-intentioned -- but so is a 6-year-old who just crayon-scrawled "I love cookies" on the living room wall. |
| Baltimore SunLou CedroneRobert Townsend co-wrote, directed and stars in the film, one whose sincerity does a lot to cover the amateurishness with which the film was made. |
| Journal and Courier (Lafayette, IN)Bob BloomAn underrated drama about the ups and downs of a Temptations-like r&b group with solid acting and fine music. If you haven't seen it, rent it. It's worth it. |
