Music From Another Room is a romantic comedy that follows the exploits of Danny, a young man who grew up believing he was destined to marry the girl he helped deliver as a five year old boy when his neighbor went into emergency labor. Twenty-five years later, Danny returns to his hometown and finds the irresistible Anna Swann but she finds it easy to resist him since she is already engaged to dreamboat Eric, a very practical match. In pursuit of Anna, Danny finds himself entangled with each of the eccentric Swanns including blind, sheltered Nina, cynical sister Karen, big brother Bill and dramatic mother Grace as he fights to prove that fate should never be messed with and passion should never be practical.

When I check my voting history, I see I have voted for movies rather generously. But I never actually gagged to give a movie a 9 and felt inhibited not to go beyond 7. I wish this movie let me love it a little bit more.The story is very simple and popular. Actually, in my country, at least a dozen movies are made every decade on a plot like this one. So, it's not the catchy story or an end twist that people love these kinda movies for. So, when you already know what is gonna happen and how, complete attention falls on things like cinematography and compelling conversations.This movie has wonderful moments. Well, with Jude Law, that is no surprise. I wanted to see this movie for Gretchen Mol. She is spontaneous, but not brilliant. The thing is, for this movie, she did not have to be. But when a sensitive viewer is watching the film, certain things should be left unsaid for his mind to synthesize and derive. If everything is discussed on a round table (not literally), it becomes more educational and less charming. That is what is pulling this movie down. Movies like French Kiss or Addicted to Love never surprised any viewer with a climax. But those films took their breaths away no doubt. I wish this one was a little more subtle and metaphoric. That way, I would not have to settle for a 7.Though there is no surprise in the end, the end is very beautiful. Feels like it's filmed by some different director than the one who filmed the educational speeches. But anyway, this is a lovely film to see. You might find it very good, or just good, depending on how forgiving you are in real life. There is no way you are gonna regret spending your good money on it. I recommend it. Who am I to recommend? You don't wanna know.

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!

"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)

I loved this movie. It was brilliant, original, unique and more. The story was such a beautiful one. All the actors were amazing in it (especially Jude Law and Jennifer Tilly) it was so nice to see a movie that wasn't all soppy and typical. This movie is in no way a classic love story. It has twists and turns all through it and the occasional moment of humor. Some of the scenes were so touching. Just an all round great feelgood movie - 9/10
