Fanciful, disturbing, and wildly original, it announces the arrival of a fresh, bold voice in American cinema.

The thing I enjoyed most about the film is the fact that it doesn't shy away from being a super-sized-cliche;

There is, somehow, an interesting story here, as well as some good acting. There are also some good scenes

Though I usually am not too much of a fan for these type of movies, I did enjoy this one. Amy Grant has been my favorite singer for quite a while and I always like to see what she's up to. I didn't get to see this movie until 2004 but I did like it. Though Amy is known for singing, I know she can pull of anything thats put in front of her and she sure did with this movie. The actors chemistry was quite evident in this movie and the fed well off of each other. Though the story was a little predictable and done many times before, there was just a little something extra from Amy, D.W., and Keith that made it more than just the run-of-the-mill stereotypical drama. This is definitely one of the better movies!

This movie made my mother and grandmother both fall asleep, but I liked it. A few scenes it was apparent that Amy Grant was new to acting, but there were also several scenes where it seemed like she'd been doing television movies for years - notably the outdoor crying scene. Also, quite a stretch to play a blind woman in her first role. The true star of the movie was Keith Carradine, who plays Maryann's soulmate. DW Moffat also excels as the egotistic pop star who yearns for Maryann(Grant's) love. For a TV movie, it was a fair stab at putting together believable dialogue and plot. The scenery and production was really excellent - the film overlapped outdoor settings with indoor music settings.

I liked working in this TV movie. yes, I had a chance of playing for this movie... I was one of the musician, who had recorded for the show. I think each actors did great job for the movie, but the story was not strong enough to explain many things. There were things that didn't make sense. i.e. When we had to pretend that we could not play Mozart well. (like they made us play horribly... seriously, it was actually funny doing that.) If we are one of the top conservatory in the country, students don't play like that!! Do you know how hard it is to get in to school like that?And sadly, there were supposed to be students' love triangle, that totally got cut off, b/c there weren't enough time! I totally wanted to see that, b/c I saw them acting!!!! And finally... Amy, D.W. Moffett, and Keith Carradine... their love triangle didn't make sense I thought. You can't just hop in and out!! Anyway so that was quite dissapointing TV movie I thought... And they even did the re-run. Like I said, the adult actors were very good.

I've listened to and enjoyed Amy Grant's music for the past 10 years, so I was pleased to see her expand her talents and try something new.While the story of A Song From The Heart is rather cheesy and predictable, it overall, was a heart-warming film. I found myself falling into the film, mainly due to Grant's believable portrayal of a blind musician.Grant's large fan base provided a guaranteed audience for the movie, but obviously others stayed tuned as it came in at 19 for the week it aired.I look forward to seeing Grant in future films, but music is certainly her forte and she would be smart to stick with it.
