Play It by Ear (2006)
Charming, nostalgic, adorable romantic comedy that is simply irresistible!
A moving and delightful nostalgia-hungry girl meets boy story, gentle yet wonderfully savvy, and WAY, WAY superior to even the best so-called "date" movies and Hollywood romantic comedies. This one is truly and refreshingly from the heart, with that rare quality: a true emotional core.
The principals here are absolutely engaging -- indeed, the entire cast is splendid, including, of course, the great Rita Moreno, and the New York locales -- bookshops, Central Park vistas, brownstones -- and the brief, folksy musical interludes that punctuate the scenes, perfectly capture the feel of the Manhattan.
One can only hope this charming little film makes the rounds of the festivals and then quickly finds its way into wide release -- it will leave you feeling utterly charmed and beguiled.
