Summary: a sweet love story in the midst of hilarious subplots
Review: I thought this movie mixed a love story that by itself was sweet, while somewhat cliched, with very original comedy. Although this movie is probably classified a romantic comedy, it is not the standard romantic comedy. The script was for the most part well written, the movie was very well acted, and the characters were 3 dimensional. My only complaint about this movie: that annoying song 'truly, madly deeply' by savage garden which played during several scenes.

Summary: The best movie you've never heard of!
Review: This movie was fantastic all the way through. The plot was original, the acting was flawless, the dialogue was witty. It's the story of Danny (Jude Law) and Anna (Gretchen Mol). Danny helps deliver baby Anna when he is five years old, and twenty-five years later, they meet again...but Anna is engaged. This movie is sweet, funny, and quirky, and it will melt your heart.

Summary: A must see for the romantic at heart
Review: This movie is one of passion, love, and destiny. It chronicles a romantic English boy with a heart of gold and his desire to marry a lady named Irene. The stories that are woven into the main plot line are heart-warming and inviting. All in all this is a great date movie or movie for anyone who has ever been in love.

Summary: cute romantic comedy.. plus lots and lots of jude law
Review: The enjoyment in watching this cute romantic comedy is all in the details -- in the growth and relationships between the minor characters -- because it certainly isn't in the "romance" between the two leads. Danny [Jude Law] helps deliver a baby girl [Anna, portrayed by Gretchen Mol] when he's five years old, and promptly declares that he's going to marry her. Twenty-five years later, the passionate and intelligent Danny, by chance, again becomes involved in her life and the life of her family.. and for some reason imagines he's instantly in love with Anna, even though she's a cold, unemotional woman with all the charm and personality of a cold fish. The real romances here are between Anna's blind sister and her Latino boyfriend, Jesus; and between Anna's dying mother and "unromantic" father. There are some touching moments, some forced and hackneyed moments, and some surprisingly well-written and directed moments. Oh, and, um.. lots of Jude Law moments, whom I admit I have a terrible weakness for.

Summary: Highly watchable, but not a classic
Review: "Music From Another Room"...strange title for a romantic comedy, perhaps, but it's just another metaphor for love, according to the romantic Danny (the always enchanting and swoon-inducing Jude Law). The storyline is sappy and somewhat contrived (boy tells his father he's going to marry the baby girl he helped deliver, then twenty-odd years pass and they meet up again; sparks fly) but the characters are engaging and the actors do what they can with the sometimes choppy dialogue. Sometimes the movie seems schizophenic, like it's not sure if it's trying to have a moral and a message or if it's just entertaining; characters try to hard to be eccentric. A few subplots all dealing with romance as well are thrown in the mix too, some more successful than others; all pale next to the Law-Mol thread. Still, the movie manages to come through with a general feeling of mushiness that will thrill any closet romantic, especially in the scene at the bakery ("Heads... it was heads," as Savage Garden plays in the background, is enough to make your heart skip a beat and make you sigh). For plot inconsistancies and a scattered storyline, two stars; for sheer entertainment value and for success as a romance, five stars. averaged to four (I rounded up).

Summary: Delightful
Review: "Music From Another Room" is a delightful little romantic comedy, partly due to the good acting (including that of a young Jude Law and a young Gretchen Mol) and partly due to the heartwarming story. It is, in essence, the perfect "date movie," one that should be watched under a warm blanket with a big bowl of popcorn and some candles. And as is the case with any movie like this, the actual quality of the film takes a backseat to the company you're watching it with. But luckily, "Music From Another Room" is also capable of standing on its own as a clever feel-good piece of cinematic candy.

Summary: You Know You're in Trouble When...
Review: Jennifer Tilley is the best thing about any movie she's in. The ironic thing about it is that I've never taken her seriously because she generally plays a twit who sounds like the Pilsbury Doughboy every time she opens her mouth. This movie made me realize why I watch movies she's a supporting cast member in: I actually enjoy her presence on film! In fact, this movie is only getting two stars from me because of her sweet and sensitive portrayal of the blind Nina. I have never seen her play this sort of role before, and she stole the show frome the rest of the cast, including the dying mother who deserves a more than honorable mention.
This alleged "romantic comedy" has neither thing going for it, because Jude Law and Gretchen Moll don't click as a couple. I don't care about them and, if you have half a brain about relationships, you won't either. It's obvious they just want to pay their bills. The best part of their story is when he's attacked in the pig costume, because it's the only time I laughed through the course of this dud which is slow...slow...SLOW! I know this thing's gotten lots of 4 and 5 star reviews, but I can't see why. There are some of us who kept looking at the clock except for every time Nina's story popped up again. In fact, they should have built the story around this character instead of Jude Law whose sexiest quality is his English accent and his ability to dress well and Gretchen Moll with that awful 1952 hairstyle. In fact I don't know what bothered me more, her outdated hair, that little boy sticking his hands in mommy's private parts when she was in labor, or that stupid teenybopper song by Savage Garden...Definitely, the hair.

Summary: This is one of those movies that gives you a great feeling
Review:
I saw this movie when it came out at the cinema's about 5 years ago I think and I remember getting out of the cinema's and my friend and I just kept on walking thinking what are we doing, where are we going. The fact is we didn't care . It gave me a sense of freedom and spontanueity. I loved it so much that as soon as I thought it would be out on Video I searched for it everywhere only to find one copy in this cheap shop where I bought it for $5 and yet I can not find in one DVD in Australia. This website is the first time I have seen any existance of Music From Another Room on DVD. I think it is the most beautiful, powerful and hopeful movie I have ever seen. It's our dreams and hopes of true love and romance. I idea of how powerful love can be and that we all would do anything for love(to find the right person). It just shows every aspect of love and how different people react to it. The fear and lust and sense people get when love if around. I don't want to say anymore and give it away but it is one of my most favourite movies that a lot of people have not heard of and everyone can see. Everyone needs to experience the Music From Another Room and just the title explains love in itself
thanks for the experience

Summary: unbelievable romance, lame comedy, crowded film
Review: Yikes! I'm quite baffled by the positive reviews here! I really like Jude Law (Gattaca) and thoroughly enjoy romantic comedies, but I found this film so absolutely lame on every level that it was difficult to finish. By the time it was over, my husband and I just looked at each other and said, "Whoa, what was that?!"First, the movie has a very bizarre framing device: Law's character is asked to help deliver a baby when he is five years old. Aside from the discomfort of seeing a child reach into Brenda Blethyn's womb, the young actor must then look sweetly at the new baby and say "I'm going to marry her." This is not only bizarre, it's creepy-bizarre. Still, I tried to forgive this oddity and get on with the movie. Second, this is a great cast that is SO wasted -- Blethyn, Martha Plimpton, Jennifer Tilly and many others in this large under-utilized cast are given a number of quirks but there are so many subplots that you never get to know any of them, or why they are the way they are. Didn't someone once say, "Quirks do not a character make"? Well, that person was not this screenwriter. You just jump from one goofy but endearing mannerism or device to another. There are enough charcters here to make three romantic comedies but instead we get one overcrowded mess. Third, Jude Law is incredibly talented, but he's miscast here as a young man so in love that he affects his love interest's entire family. Law is more a button-down quiet guy, who might inspire passion but not necessarily of the exuberant, romantic variety. Fourth, the chemistry between Law and Gretchen Mol is nonexistent -- two nice actors who are NOT good together. Fifth, the music is pretty bad, intruding on the film more than accentuating the emotions. Finally, the DVD features are: the movie trailer. Whooppee! If you want to see a fun romantic comedy that you haven't heard of, check out Happy Accidents. This film is lame despite its great cast, and one wonders why all these talented people signed on to this goofy project.

Summary: Add this to your top 10 of great love stories!
Review: This movie is fantastic. It's funny, romantic and, well, fantastic. Not much of a Jude Law fan, I was in love with him by the end of the movie. Jennifer Tilley was not her playing her normal, ditzy role. One of her lines from the movie pretty much sums it up... "Danny's (Jude Law) love for [Anna] is so big, it spilled over and effected us all". This movie will effect you!
