Feel the Noise

Imagine being bored out of your mind while sitting on a bus or train listening to random strangers talk about absolutely nothing. Or walking past a group of people having mindless chit chat. Now imagine you're not watching a movie and instead picture every character on screen as some annoying, clueless person you know in real life. And there you have it: For starters, the performances are so amateurish that one might think this was the first time any of them had ever been on the big screen. There is also no real acting going on here. It seems as if the actors are simply saying their lines without any real emotion. The story begins with Rob,(Omarion) a young aspiring rapper who lives in Harlem with his mother Tanya.(Kellita Smith). After getting into trouble with local thugs, his mother sends him to Puerto Rico to live with his estranged father Roberto, a musician played by Giancarlo Esposito. Rob meets his brother named Javi (Victor Rasuk)and the two quickly bond over their love of music. Javi introduces Rob to raggaeton, a mixture of hip hop, reggae and Spanish beats and they soon decide to create a demo. Rob meets the lovely CC (Zulay Henao)an aspiring dancer and the two quickly take a liking to each other. Pretty soon, Rob, javi and CC head to New York to pursue their dreams but they quickly realize that the price of fame can be costly. One of the things that makes this film so bad is the horrible acting and dialogue. Unfortunately, these actors just don't have anything good to work with here. I often wondered whether Chomski was trying to capture the essence of urban street life. Although not a bad idea, this concept would've been great with stronger dialogue and better character development. The majority of the film is very similar to other films of its kind which makes the plot seem very bland and formulaic. I could not understand why veteran, seasoned actors such as Kellita Smith, Giancarlo Esposito and Malik Yoba would agree to star in an atrocity of a film. What a complete waste of good talent !!! Victor Rasuk ("Raising Victor Vargas", "Lords of Dogtown" has done better acting than this and unfortunately Zulay Henao ("Fighting") barely acts and comes across as just another pretty face with a great body. Last but not least,, Chomski's terrible sense of direction doesn''t help either. Watching "The Mayor" (Yoba) frantically run from the cops as Rob helps him get away is dreadful to watch. Not to mention Rob going against ex crew/gang members after returning to New York. Horrendous !!! Chomski makes an attempt to wrap the film up neatly with ending it at the Puerto Rican Day parade. JLO whose also the producer of the film makes an appearance.

This 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!!

I feel I should first of all say that I am definitely not in the target audience for this movie - I am a Caucasian who is middle- aged. However, all the same I have a strong feeling that the target audience for this movie won't find much that's engaging here. The main problem with this movie? The script. The script rehashes so many elements from past youth-oriented movies that you'll be several steps ahead of the story and characters at every point. But that's not the only problem with the movie. While the movie attempts to introduce a new style of music, the problem is that the music we get to hear is only adequate at best. It's not catchy or exceptional at all. The movie is not without merit. Director Alejandro Chomski does manage to build a surprising amount of atmosphere in both the Puerto Rican and New York City locations. And the cast does give decent and likable performances, though they can only go so far with that aforementioned script. All the same, most viewers will probably be feeling for their remote in order to change the channel not long into watching this.

not 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 Rico omarion comes across as fairly self assured without being annoyingly cocky ala will smith...

It's been years since I saw this movie. And I'll admit it's very forgettable. As an Omarion fan since I was 11 during his days of B2K, I didn't know what to expect of this movie. So during 2008, after a very busy first half of my junior year of high school, my mom rented this movie and my sister offered for me to watch it. I'll tell you how forgettable this movie is. I don't even remember what was the first scene. And I was in and out of it during the movie. I was so bored out of my mind. The only thing memorable about it was the music, for I LOVE music. But the scenes were too short for my liking, the plot was in pieces, the acting wasn't good but not great either. I will say that Omarion looked sexy in this movie but even he couldn't save it. 3 out of ten.

It 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.

Feel 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.
