As the son of a music teacher, Music of the Heart presented a story that had some very personal connections to my own life. It's definitely a four hankie; unfortunately, it tries too hard to get to that point. To many points in the movie seemed to scream out "We are going to MAKE you cry this time!"
The only technical flaw in this movie was the directing style. It appears that Wes Craven had a difficult time moving from the quick cut horror style he has done for years. To many cuts had discrepancies between them (people standing in places they weren't in a split second before, stuff moving around, facial expressions drastically different). Wes' horror style also managed to squeeze its way in; to many scenes used techniques often used to imply impending doom in horror films.
With that said, I still give this movie a 7 out of 10, and would highly recommend it. Bring some kleenex...
