Acensbart Excellent but underrated film

Erica Derrick By the time the dramatic fireworks start popping off, each one feels earned.

Yazmin Close shines in drama with strong language, adult themes.

Irishchatter I honestly thought this movie was breathtaking and just wonderful. I felt like I was in a different world because the soundtrack was just so brilliant! I couldn't believe Bob Marley's son Ky-Mani Marley actually was playing the lead role in a romantic Jamican story, this! It just made the movie better and I only discovered this after watching the movie last night! I really thought he was only just a regular guy acting in this movie, I had a strange feeling that it was more than that haha!Cherine Anderson was such an excellent singer. I was surprised that her and Marley didn't get to the charts, they are so talented even as a duet! I would love to have heard the songs on the radio, it would explode with such love from the fans! I was so happy to have seen Idris Elba in the movie, his Jamaican accent wasn't that great but still, he is a great actor and I'm glad he got involved with this too! Funny enough, I always think of him as his notable role as Nelson Mandela so it was hard for me to think of him as the character on this haha! As user grumpy-3 in one of the reviews said, this is definitely a feel good movie, it would lighten up your mood so go watch it now!!! :D

imawik Loved the movie.. and DRAMA .. wow.. the music in this movie is amazing as well. The characters are well played out (ok.. except for this one fight scene that had me laughing on the attempt of action). The movie has a great story behind it, pursue your dreams, and daddy is not always right... he'll figure that out eventually. The locations in the movie took a while to figure out but a well seasoned Jamaican could figure out a few of them. A feel good movie with a hint of romeo and Juliet the movie also displays the forever rivalry between religion and class. Jamaica's #1 beef (perhaps the worlds?) .I bought it on youstation and loved everything about it. This movie follows the tradition of other Jamaican hits such as Rockers, The Hardery They Come, Dancehall Queen and most recently Shottas! That actress (Sherene Anderson i think?) has a very promising future and Ky-Mani's already a home brewed star more famous since Shottas ! Bigups to Trevor Rhone, Jamaica's King of playwriting on a well written pieceKiwami

metorahtid-1 I think this is an excellent film. It shows Jamaica in a different light...The cinematography is amazing and the cast compliment each other well. I was very impressed with the music in the film. I find it both impressive and unusual that the lead actors could actually "really" sing.I didn't believe that Anderson was really singing until I witnessed her first hand in Toronto at a party for the Film Festival. SHe definitely has presence and is singer, no doubt. Marley definitely has screen presence and looks good on camera. I liked him in this role. However, at times the pace of the film was a little slow...but it's definitely a feel good movie. Definitely a must see. Looking at the credits i wonder "what was life like on set?"..the team was part Jamaican, part British, and part Norwegian... When will this film come to theaters in the US...I hope soon I really enjoyed it.

grumpy-3 a rare thing these days, a film that of innocence, good music and warm story. kymani is superb as the rastaman singer, you can tell he is a chip of the old man's block, great voice and presence cherine is a true discovery a young lady with a beautiful voice and tremendous acting chops, and also beautiful. i saw at a preview some time ago and the audience were whooping and clapping with full interaction. it was like being at Saturday morning pictures again. the film avoids the mtv style of frenetic pace and frantic editing. it takes its time to tell its simple yet effective story of two culture first clashing then meeting, rasta meets Christian, music competition you know what is going to happen but it happens so well. a film you come out humming the brilliant music and with a skip and a hop in you step
