Interesting as a modern day musical – which scores by Benny Goodman et al. Amy and Alec have good chemistry and their voices harmonize well. Characters walk down the street singing which is something one doesn't often see.. While the acting and character portrayal is solid, the script, editing and directing lack polish. It feels decidedly amateurish and I cringe for Amy and Alec. Surprisingly good performance by little known Harriet Harris. This was definitely a low budget production as even the sets seem cheesy. I would opt to see Mrs.. Pettigrew instead – Amy plays a similar character and the film is well produced.

It's nice to see Amy Adams singing Jazz. Her voice is good. Not the very best Jazz singer in terms of timing and inflection but still very good. The story is a strange mix of the finance world and Jazz. It's a bit musical like. Some of it is a bit contrived and the story can get annoying at times. Alec Newman is little unattractive to be the romantic lead. Don't know whether he actually played the piano but it sounded good. Harriet Harris is a delightful supporting cast. But it's not really for the story that you watch it more for the music.This one didn't have a big theatrical release so many wouldn't even know it was made. Still a worth while watch to see Amy Adams before she really struck the big time.

A movie scored by Joey DeFrancesco was a great promise with Cole Porter standards to boot. Unfortunately, Joey turned out to be the best actor in the movie and he is the musician. Poor Amy Adams a jazz singer she is not. She was pitchy and her phrasing was karaoke at best. I can't even address the lead actor... he was simply too painful to watch. Joey and his band are joy to listen to and I felt his lovely score was sorely wasted on this outing. Very strange cinematography, odd and obtrusive lighting, scrappy editing and a script in search of a story. If you took the DeFrancesco digital masters and resell them to a real movie that would be okay with me. Amy Adams who is an otherwise talented actress needs to buy up all the DVD's she can get her hands on and have them shredded. Moonlight Serenade does her career no favors.

Having endured this film last night, I turned off the DVD player with a sense of deserving a medal for having the stamina to see it through to the end. Throughout the film I felt that I was watching the storyline fillers that you get in a high budget porn movie. the acting was stiff and taut, camera work appalling, and the locations and sets were so poor it felt like they had borrowed them from the local High School "Amateur Dramatic's Society".The only saving grace for this movie was that it had Amy Adams and Harriet Sansom Harris in its credits, other than that it was pure dribble.
