Wonderful spirit, humanity and humor.

Streep is simply amazing to behold, an actress who invests every fiber of her being -- every gesture, every inflection, every strand of hair -- into her performance.

Tear-inducing feel-gooder that only a curmudgeon could find fault with.
58
So sloppily and unabashedly sentimental that it can make you laugh and cry at the same time -- and often at the same things.
50
Falls flat for its skittish reluctance to bear any resemblance to an actual Wes Craven film.
42
A sentimental epic that forgets to include the sentiment
38
Watching Meryl Streep act can be an exhausting experience - and never more so than during Music of the Heart.

Meryl Streep once again proves how good she is. I really liked this movie and Meryl deserves the nomination for best actress at the Oscars. really good movie.

I don't see what everyone is on about. This is just another average film which is severely overrated because of celebrity worship. I hate these kinds of my films and they are just the same recycled garbage.
