Feel The Noise

It's hard to fault a screenwriter for cramming every idea he's ever had about anything into his first movie for fear there won't be a second.

Reggaeton has officially come of age: The burgeoning subgenre now has a terrible, opportunistic exploitation movie to call its own.

No one will mistake director Alejandro Chomski's Feel the Noise for great drama. But there's an undeniable sweetness to the characters, the performers are highly appealing, and the music sizzles.

Omarion, as he's known in the R&B world, is a bit too low-key at times and even more unconvincing in the film's more melodramatic moments.
