Summary: Not often, a reel feel-good movie!
Review: One wonders if the cast & crew of this wonderful flick thought they would/could succeed with: no guns, no blood, no explosions, no murders...beheadings, stabbings, etc.If you love music, and have heard some fifties music, the kind that you just have to involuntarily sway and bob to....then this is your movie. It's wonderful, with a storyline and characters completely full bodied. And the music! Armand Assante playing against his usual form. And Diane Venora, a character so charasmatic, Assante isn't the only one that falls for her. We do, assisted by the best music score in a film since the Commitments! I love this movie! Makes me smile...."FEEL GOOD!".

Summary: a Wonderful Story + music
Review: This is a wonderful absorbing movie. I had never heard of it till my TiVo downloaded it and I decided to watch it. Not full of flash but full of warm human feelings. Kindness and anger. Love and pain. This type of movie doesn't get made now days. I'm buying the DVD.

Summary: Look No Further!
Review: This is absolutely the best movie wrapped around fifties & sixties music that I have ever seen. The music of Kenny Vance is superbly woven throughout a very heartwarming story that makes you want to cry and cheer at the same time. This is the music WCBS-FM SHOULD still be playing! The locations in Brooklyn and Howard Beach are just great and add to the overall flavor of the movie. Don't hestitate, just buy it!

Summary: Where has this film been??
Review: This is one teriffic little film. As one who experienced the fame at age 16 and was out of the business at age 18, I was very emotionally attached to this story. The cast had it right -on! The music by Kenny Vance, particularly the arrangement of "This I Swear" was so perfect and so pure, that anyone experiencing it can not help but be moved back to another place ..and another time.Thank God the title is "Looking for an Echo" ...Vance' homage to the golden era or I would have probably missed it on the video shelf. Rent It...Buy It...Love it!

Summary: A Must See For Oldie Lovers
Review: Those of us who grew up in the 50's - 60's will especially enjoy this movie. The story of what happened to a teen idol (Vinnie) and his group (The Dreamers) is very moving. Because singing groups of those times were not properly rewarded financially, Vinnie is left with nothing but memories for his efforts. His bitterness causes him to put his pass and exceptional voice aside. Fortunately for him, his son and newly found girlfriend manage to get Vinnie to relive some of the glory days of Vinnie and The Dreamers.
Combined with another storyline of Vinnie's young daughter's battle with cancer, the movie brings out many emotions. Except for the unnecessary use of vulgar language, the entire family can enjoy this movie.
Kenny Vance and The Planotones who provide the vocals for the movie and soundtrack have made "Looking For An Echo" a very popular song today for oldie lovers. I strongly suggest purchasing the soundtrack if you love oldie music.

Summary: A Must See For All Do-Wopp Lovers and Romantics!
Review: What a pleasant, sincere and heart-warming little movie! While it may not have been nominated for any awards, it is an intelligently done story, with a fine and well-selected cast. Armand Assante, as the central character Vinny, is quite believable--he has "the look" of a teen idol, thirty years or so after the fact. The supporting cast is terrific, especially Christy Carlson Romano, who, as Vinny's daughter Tina, is absolutely charming! The soundtrack, provided by Kenny Vance and the Planotones, is mesmerizing--as I've said before, Kenny's voice is without equal - he is the finest lead singer I have ever heard, and I grew up in the 50's & 60's! You won't go wrong by buying this movie. Guaranteed to make you feel good! Also, do yourself a favor and get the soundtrack CD. It's fantastic!
