Painfully cliched. The music is throbbing and the leads are cute, but there's nothing here viewers haven't seen before.

No one will mistake director Alejandro Chomski's Feel the Noise for great drama. But there's an undeniable sweetness to the characters, the performers are highly appealing, and the music sizzles.

The plot is contrived, the performances are all over the board, and Chomski's camera ogles his actresses just a little too much.
It’s the subtexts -- about minority kinship and Hispanic self-actualization -- that resound. If only its fable (and leading man) didn’t keep getting in the way.
