Summary: The comedic power of love
Review: Though the DVD offers no significant additional features, this film is so exceptional in and of itself that it's worth five full stars. Like _Pulp Fiction_, this film draws you into its narrative by having multiple storylines going at once, only to be intersected in the end. Along the way, each individual story is so intriguing that it's almost easy to forget that they're all moving inexorably towards collision in a masterful denouement that amplifies each individual story at least as much as it neatly ties all of them together.What sustains us throughout is the high calibre of writing. This is masterful dialogue, by and large, and it's more than a little joyous to see it so well acted. Angelina Jolie and Jon Stewart, in particular, add comedy simply by the way the read their lines. Other actors would've gotten laughs because the lines were well written; Jolie and Stewart go the writer one better by giving especially deft readings. I think what intrigues us, too, is the casting. Almost everyone is in some significant way cast at least slightly against type, and watching them perform in unusual circumstance-and do it very well-makes the experience mesmerizing. But what really sells this film is the fact that it's perfect date material. The movie is entirely about love, without being sappy or obviously formulaic. Though many of the negative consequences of love are explored, none is so overwhelming as to be oppressive. In short, if by the final credits you're not closer to the one you're watching the film with, you're simply not human.

Summary: Playing By Heart
Review: It was last years best kept secret. A warm, romantic comedy good for people of all ages. A must see film for lovers and friends. Sean Connery is brilliant in a subtle role, Angelina Jolie's break out performance. This is a must but video if you missed it at the theatres.

Summary: Ryan Phillippe!
Review: This movie is a must see for anybody who wishes to find love in the future or is in love now. It's about five couples who all have many things in common, but the main one is love, love for their mates. The best couple was Ryan Phillippe and Angelina Jolie! Ryan Phillippe, is so cute! Especially with Blue hair! This excellent ensemble of actors, really makes this the excellent movie it is! It was written so perfectly, the way all of these couples tie in together is phenomenal! Everybody should see this movie.

Summary: Playing By Heart, Awesome!
Review: "Playing By Heart" was one of the best movies I've seen. The cast was outstanding, there were so many great actors in this film and that's what made me keep watching it, over and over again. I watched it about five times, until I had to return it to the store. It's definetly a movie I am going to own. When I find it at the store I'm buying it right away! It was written and directed brilliantly. And the cast made it even better! Ryan Phillipe and Angelina Jolie were awesome in the movie, along with everybody else. No one actor made this film, everybody made it! Amazing film, definetly a MUST SEE movie! Everybody should see it.

Summary: Great Movie
Review: I didn't have high expectations in seeing this movie (I saw it because I'm an X-Files fan), but I was blown away. This film is powerful, uplifting, and funny. All of the performances are wonderful. Scully, I mean Gillian Anderson, is great in her first starring movie role and Jolie is incredible as usual. The writing is the highlight of the movie, very witty and subtle, seemless. I love the banter between Connery and Rowlands and everything out of Joan's mouth, especially her "dancing about architecture" speech. The ending is unexpected, very uplifting. It's wonderful how a story that involves so much impending doom can manage to be so hopeful. Wonderful.

Summary: A Delicious Watch!
Review: "Playing By Heart" was such a lovely movie experience, but surely not well known about, which is a shame. It is a story for anyone who has ever been in love or hopes to be in love in the future, a joy to any romantic. The film centers itself around five storylines that are cleverly woven together, and deal with every stage a relationship goes through, so it is enjoyable for young and old. The resolution of this movie is touching and thoughtful, making your heart feel full. Excellent performances by the entire ensemble cast, however, Angelina Jolie shines like a new diamond in her role as Joan.
