TAGLINES
Dream out loud.
After a run-in with local thugs, aspiring Harlem rapper Rob (Omarion Grandberry) flees to a place and father (Giancarlo Esposito) he never knew, and finds his salvation in Reggaeton, a spicy blend of hip-hop, reggae and Latin beats. Puerto Rico, the spiritual home of Reggaeton, inspires Rob and his half-brother Javi (Victor Rasuk) to pursue their dream of becoming Reggaeton stars. Together with a dancer named C.C., they learn what it means to stay true to themselves and each other, while overcoming obstacles in love, greed and pride, all culminating in an explosive performance at New YorkÂ’s Puerto Rican Day Parade.

This movie rocked!
posted on 14 Jan 2009Okay, I dunno what the guy above had against this movie, but me and my girlfriend really liked it! It's a great date movie, the music is really different from anything out there, and it's just a lot of fun. And it never really advertised itself as a dancing movie, it's a MUSIC movie. Hence the title- "Feel the NOISE".Anways, I enjoyed seeing such a positive and inspiring movie when so much else out there is so depressing. I thought it was a lot better than You Got Served, because it covered something outside of the usual "Street Kid Makes his way with Hip Hop Dance." Reggaeton is totally different. Plus if you don't listen or never have listened to Reggaeton it's a great way to hear some great music. Side bonus: CC's really hot! If you want a fun movie to see with a date or a friend, I definitely think you should go see this film.
It's "West Side Story" gone bad!
posted on 23 Nov 2008If you are looking at this film to learn about Puerto Rican culture and ethnicity, you will not find it here. In fact, all this film offers is a Hollywood-stereotypical of Puerto-Rican-American generic. And, the generic is offered on the 'cheap', with a low-budget film that is anything but authentic. A cameo appearance by J-Lo (Jennifer Lopez), at the end of the film, does not legitimize the film. As for the music, it starts out okay at the start of the film, but then goes from bad to worse. The dancing is okay, but disappears by the end of the film. A song entitled 'Puerto Rico', which (I guess) was sung at a Puerto Rican festival in New York City, feels more like a commercial than a movie. But, the film fails to promote anything but garbage.There does not seem to even be a plot--and, as someone has suggested, I would not even bother to write what may be a plot (quoting the suggestion) "on an envelope." It would be a waste of an envelope that can be better-used elsewhere. If there is a script, it certainly must be brief and threadbare. Did anyone ever both to do any research, at all, on Puerto Ricans? If so, the research findings do not find their way in this film. In fact, this film appears to be a poor remake of "West Side Story" gone bad (the Jets and the Sharks even get lost).The film is more like a nightmare on Upper-West-Side's Main Street. And, the script is filled with a Caucasian's misconception of what the writer blindly sees as a Puerto Rican Yellow Brick Road. The script needs lots, and lots, and lots of work. And, the actors and dancers are like a "Peter Pan" that just does not know how to fly. Also, the film's creators need to re-write a more-believable, if not more-authentic, workable kind of formula. Do not even listen to, or watch, the dialog or music from the film. Or, at least take two aspirin, after you get a migraine headache. Do your homework, or go to Puerto Rico, to learn about what it really is to be a Puerto Rican. All you will get, from the film, is plenty of chaos, confusion, noise, and static. The film is so awful that it deserves a zero, but the lowest rank is 1 out of 10. Due to 'extreme awfulness', the film is not recommended. Keep the adults--and the children--home.
I'm FEELIN the noise! YOU should too~
posted on 05 Nov 2008To be honest, YES we have seen this plot before with inner city struggles and the rise to fame. But THIS time; it has a different flavor, especially with the Reggaeton / Rapping element added. Omarion Grandberry plays a troubled teen (Rob) with super stardom aspirations who has to go live in Puerto Rico with his estranged Father (Roberto) and his new wife due to a run in with some gang members.It's a movie about pain, redemption, finding yourself and ultimately going for your dreams against the mounting odds against you. It's a HUMAN story filled with real life situations that a lot of us in the inner city have gone through, ARE going through, or know someone with the same struggle. Most people won't be able to swallow this movie if they think it's a super sappy romance or an edgy rap battle movie with NOTHING but dancing / breaking. (This is NOT You Got Served! XD)Omarion is convincing as a rapper, and in the side-plots you can feel his grief and anger towards his Father and his overall frustration at being thrust from his hometown into a new environment that seems foreign to him. (Not to mention Zulay as Cici doesn't hurt as the gorgeous and talented eye candy who is seeking to fulfill her dancing dream.) As time goes on he is enveloped in the culture and we see the bond between him and his step-brother and a love-interest grows. The kissing scene / love scene was rather awkward to me and I didn't feel the chemistry but other then that; the dancing was bomb, the grainy lens and visual effects were minimal yet appropriate and pretty soon you'll find the storyline just sucking you in from scene to scene. (Not to mention THE BEAUTIFUL scenic landscapes that are Puerto Rico!) But I definitely recommend this movie! (Really. Ignore the bad reviews. Most of them are tactless and rushed.) 'FTN' possesses a plot that HAS been seen before but with the rich acting and lovely cast-choices in this movie MORE than make up for that. Besides, it's Omarion's debut role by himself on the big screen. You can't miss that!
More like feel the No's, the no ways, the no way Josés...
posted on 19 Aug 2008Yikes, quite possibly one of the worst music films of all time...The plot could be written on an envelope and you'd still have an acre of space left.It is not fun, funny, or down dirty - it's just plain yeeuch... honestly. And it's extremely misogynistic in places. The women here aren't strong, thinking, role models - it's all short skirts and hips a swinging... which is just plain depressing...And the film... it reminds me of elephants leaping over a cliff hoping to fly... just really doesn't stand a chance... really does look and feel like a very middle-class white teenager's idea of what Latino music should look like.Just didn't buy this, and what's more half way through I didn't want to buy it anymore. I did stick it out to the end, but I was really, really unimpressed.Formulaic crap - avoid unless you like headaches. Sorry guys, non es muy impresionante...
3 because Zulay Henao
posted on 20 Jul 2008Feel the Noise was a joke. It earned a 5 because of Zulay Henao's hotness. I agree with other reviewers that this movie had no real plot or a decent script. I felt like I was stuck watching a long music video. Nothing about Feel the Noise was remotely believable. Omarion's character is wanted in NY by a Supreme McGriff type syndicate. The syndicate goes as far as trying to shoot him. He jams to Puerto Rico to hide out. When he comes back the syndicate threatens his mother. After all this build up Omarion ends up fighting one of the syndicate to make things okay. WTF? A NY crime syndicate tries to shoot him then decides a school yard street fight is good enough. LAUGHABLE nonsense. Westside Story had more urban action than this POS. Stay away unless you want see Zulay Henao who is a fox.
Horrible Movie
posted on 12 Jul 2008If you think it is going to be a mix between Step Up and Stomp the Yard, you are brutally wrong. I was ashamed to spend $8.50 on this movie. It was so bad in the first half hour, that my friend and I left. If you want to waste your money on a horrible movie, this is the one to go to. I never thought I would hate a movie this much, but this proved me wrong.I am warning you, do not see this even if your life depended on it. I'm not saying Omarion or any of the "actors" in this movie are horrible, but the plot sucks and you've got people who have never really acted before. It is elementary acting, and while the music is good, after 10 minutes of reggae, you never want to listen to it again.
deserves to be bottom 10
posted on 06 Jun 2008It is riding high at number 11 worst film of all time. Deserves to be bottom 10! Reminded me of Eraserhead. You sat there watching this load of crap hoping it would turn into a goose, let alone a swan. But never did.With gas prices at $3.50 I wish I had the money to blow on producing such nonsense. At least it arrived in the mail! Avoid at all costs! Garbage. I am already wasting my time trying to fill in ten lines to describe a waste of 1.5 hours of my life. yes, CC is only value.No music, no dance, just time ticking by.
nice movie...
posted on 13 May 2008not sure why there's so many disparaging comments on this movie - it's just a lighthearted "musical" movie - i've seen plenty more movies that try harder...it's nicely shot , features some great beats and performances , has some good dancing , and lots of good looking people - what more do you want in light entertainment ? the script didn't blow me away but then again I didn't expect it too...it's just a nice easy to watch movie.there's a good contrast shown between NYC and Puerto Ricoomarion comes across as fairly self assured without being annoyingly cocky ala will smith...
It's a WRAP!!!!
posted on 15 Apr 2008I think it's all right... because this movie it's what maybe happened to some Reggaeton rappers, and I know for sure some of them are very related to this movie... and it also shows how we live our lives in our countries. It's kind of like the movie "U Got Served", but I think it's better, just because it has that "Latin Flava" in it. I recommend it to everybody, not because I'm Latin, but because it's worth watching it. Honestly, I didn't like some parts, but that always happens. This movie it's gonna be a hit in the Latin movie market, it also has big reggaeton stars like: Alexis & Fido, Arcangel, Voltio of course and... I don't remember them all, but if you like Reggaeton, this movie IS OFF THE CHAIN!!!!
Don't even think about watching this movie!
posted on 26 Mar 2008Probably the worst movie i've ever seen in my entire life...wait...not probably..it actually was THE WORST MOVIE EVER! Even though i didn't expect amazing acting or an unbelievable script, i did think that there would be some good music or some decent dancing..but there was NOTHING! ZIP! NADA! There was so many little conflicts left and right, some of which had nothing to do with the main storyline. The Acting was ridiculously horrible. I'm confused as to why the producer of this movie (Jennifer Lopez) would want to produce something like this...did she actually think this was good? Even though i survived till the end of the film..i had to continuously pause it in order to recompose myself, because i felt embarrassed for the actors and anyone involved in this joke of a movie...
No-more-e-on
posted on 23 Feb 2008The whole time I was watching this I couldn't figure out why they were making omarion out to be such a joke. It doesn't take that long to discover this whole movie is really just an excuse to prop his ego. Only it backfires, because this whole movie seems like it either started out as a music video and was made into a movie afterward, or it was a practical joke on 2008's top pick for biggest douche in the universe award.The acting was pretty bad, or maybe it was the script, I really don't know which was worse. The crowds don't look like they like the music, in fact no one other than omarion sounds like they really dig the crap they are being paid to dance to. Too many musicians think they need to be doing everything. Leave the acting to people who have way more talent and practice at it, and maybe go work on those "phat rhymes".
Instantly Forgettable.
posted on 21 Feb 2008Once in a while a Movie comes along that really stirs you. Inspires you to go out and realise your dreams. Or at least makes you glad to be alive. Unfortunately,this was not one of those Movies. I did make it through to the very end. Though this was mainly due to the batteries in my remote control having died and me having a bad leg. It was so instantly forgettable that when my partner came home and asked me what i'd done all day i was able to recall the ironing and clipping my toenails,but any semblance of having watched a Movie had completely disappeared from my mind. I only remember it now to write this because i've just had a phone call from the video store telling me it's overdue.
Young Freestyler In Latino Land
posted on 11 Feb 2008The movie started very awful. I know Omarion is more a dancer than a rapper, but as they say... "gotta try'em all" To start good i give this movie a fair 5. Some of the viewers might contest my rating, but if you were part of a world like this you would understand. This is the worst movie for someone who eats movies for breakfast, and the best movie for a reggeton dancer. And since I'm caught right in the middle, i justify my grade. The music is very cool comparing to the movie, I've actually paused the movie in mid "action" to look for the OST online :) The one thing you can't say about music is that it S.U.X. because it doesn't. Just because some of us you don't line one king of music. This doesn't mean that if this movie was about heavy metal, you would have seen a rating of 1 and a post saying that the music is bad, not from me at least. My advice to all of you is watch the movie, and if you don't like it, grab a camera and do your own.
Not as bad as I thought, just mediocre
posted on 11 Feb 2008It's the common plot of guy gets in trouble and gets sent away (like Stomp the Yard) and gets interested in music (You Got Served). It does stray away from the two most common movies everyone thinks You Got Served and Stomp the Yard. We actually get to see two issues get resolved during movie and a plot hole that could have been dealt with if Malik Yoba wasn't in the film. You want to talk about doing a cameo for a check-at least Chris Brown was in Stomp the Yard for more than 2 minutes. Oh don't blink or you will miss J Lo and Marc Anthony's ultra quick cameo towards the end of the film. The acting was mailed in by some of the cast and one of the scenes between Rob and his father in one scene gave you no cause to feel for Rob being upset that his father was never around. It is also interesting that almost everyone in Puerto Rico spoke perfect English and there is a scene that takes a dig about that. For those expecting to see a long version of a music video. Sorry that movie doesn't do that in fact most of those dance scenes happen ultra early and you never see them again. The music was enjoyable and actually got me interested in learning more about Reggaeton. So I don't feel like my $2.50 was wasted on a film that won't be showing this time next week at my theater.
Its not even worth seeing for the music
posted on 19 Dec 2007Guy from the Bronx wants to be a hip-hop star, however he's forced to flee to Puerto Rico when he has a run in with some bed guys. Generally it isn't a good sign when the selling point is that a film is produced by a movie star, in this case Jennifer Lopez. Done on the cheap I kept wondering why they couldn't get more money for a better cast and crew.The film is okay, but never really connected with me since its so specifically of a place and life style it fails to click as a story or larger importance. Whats worse is the music isn't very good, which is something I rarely say about urban dramas such as this. Its so abrasive and unremarkable that you don't want to watch the film simply so you won't hear the music.
This movie was awful -- DO NOT GO SEE IT
posted on 11 Dec 2007So... imagine going to see a movie thinking it was going to be like You Got Served. Probably not the best plot wise, but with some redeeming features (dancing, specifically). Then you see it, and it's AWFUL. ALL of it is AWFUL. Awkward. No dancing. Stupid acting. AWFUL. When you are done, you wish you hadn't paid and taken a nap instead.There are probably too many plot lines trying to happen, which is generally a problem for a movie anyway. But then there are horrible transitions between the sections, and often after a "major" plot point you find yourself looking at a friend going "what just happened? really?" And every once in awhile, without a reason, the filming style changes. Oh, and did I mention the entire movie is awkward? People just aren't like that...I highly recommend NOT going to see this movie.
I felt no noise, but I felt my Time slip by
posted on 08 May 2009This movie was a waste of time! I would rather sit with my grandma, while she teaches me sewing rather than watch it again!! Before I walked in, I thought this is a dancing movie, because this is how it was marketed. Now, the only good thing about this movie was the way it was marketed. It is true that they fool the people into thinking that it is a dance movie, but the preview of this movie was amazing. Honestly, I am willing to watch the preview over and over again for the 1 hour 20 minutes of the movie, rather than watching the movie again. The acting was horrible. Omarian keeps on proving to us that he is a lousy actor; he is a good dancer and singer, why can't he just stick with that?! The storyline was just too weak. It contained no suspense, it contained no twists, it contained no "spice"! The music in the movie was also horrible, it was literally noise! In the end, try to avoid this movie at any cost!!
