Summary: Skip the DVD
Review: The pixelation is horrible on this DVD. I had to pretend I was watching the movie on a damaged holodeck to even make it viewable. Go for the VHS if you really must have this movie...no joke it is that bad. +There are no extras on the DVD anyway. The acting is good...but not great and the whole thing is a bit contrived...but overall if you want to see a bunch of great actors coast through a romantic movie... can you say date night?...then this is a good movie... practice saying the cliches with the actors.

Summary: Okay, but should have been more...
Review: This film is a very mixed bag. On the one hand it has a stellar cast, with the premise of taking stories concerning couples - that at the end intervene into one family. On the other hand, at its bad moments it reminded me of "Loveboat"! I absolutely cringed by some of the dialogue, cliches by tons that many of the actors had to chew. One has to see great actors like Sean Connery (with a nothing of a role) and Gena Rowlands in such a banal situation with no originality whatsoever (talk about formula writng!) Other couples did fairly better... when suddenly the story of Angelina Jolie appeared... now that was great! It was as if it was written by someone else. It was smart, touching and alive. Angelina is absolutely wonderful... The end is kitcshy & warm, and surprising, but imagine if before so had been better written!

Summary: Good Movie, Horrible DVD
Review: I really enjoyed this movie when I saw it in the theater, but the DVD is terrible. There is bad pixelation throughout - to the point where it just becomes unbearable to watch. Stick to the VHS.

Summary: The best romantic comedy I have seen in a long time.
Review: Usually romantic comedies focus on the comedy more than the romance. Leaving the plot line unclear and unrealistic. But in 'Playing by Heart' you know more about the characters. They throw in a few jokes for good measure, but it's not the idiot comedy people are used to, so it just makes the movie better.The chemistry between the actors is wonderful. Joan (Angelina Jolie)and Keneen(Ryan Phillippe) have such a great chemistry together you'd think they were really in love. Meredith (Gillian Anderson) and Trent's (Jon Stewart) chemistry is a bit shaky at first, while Meredith tries to push a way Trent becuase she's been hurt so many times, but then picks up beautifully when she finally decides to go with her emotions. Paul (Sean Connery) and Hannah (Gena Rowlands) have such a wonderful chemistry. Though it starts out angrily (could paul hae been playing around a few years back) once they reach a reconsiliation it is beautiful. I definetly reccomend this movie.

Summary: Excellent Movie, Shame About the DVD
Review: This is one of the best human dramas I have seen in a long while. Brilliantly acted, directed, written and shot. Unfortunately the DVD release by Miramax has been botched. Not only is there bad pixilation in a lot of scenes, but the film has only been Letterboxed at about 1.75:1, not 2.20 as stated on the packaging. As a result a lot of the glorious photography is badly cropped. The picture even zooms out at the end to get all the end credits in! Anamorphic would have been nice, and an extra or two even nicer. Shame.

Summary: Truly Incredible
Review: This movie is one of the most strikingly well-written, stellarly acted and brilliantly executed works I have ever seen. I recommend this to anyone who ever felt even a twinge of hopeless romanticism, and is at any stage of a relationship. Every twist of the plot and turn of the phrase will leave you wanting to know more about these characters. Incredible.

Summary: Facetiously Exciting!
Review: A great film with a ravenous script. "Playing by Heart," caught my attention with it's clever plot. The movie will intrigue the audience by showing different relationships among different couples and in the end the viewers will receive a treat in which they will find how the different relationships will tie in together. I recommend any viewer who enjoys comedy and soap opra shows to buy the movie. It's a soap opra in a movie with a twist of comedy.

Summary: The most witty movie of the year!
Review: It is the most witty movie of the year! Ryan Philippe could be a superstar in the near future, and Sean Connery is attractive too! All the actors & actress played very well in the movie. The interaction within the movie is smooth. It is a enjoyable movie which I saw twice in the cinema!
