Born and bred in New York City, Rob (Omarion Grandberry) dreams of making it as a rapper. When he becomes a wanted man in his neighborhood, Rob's loving mother (Kellita Smith) sends him to Puerto Rico to stay with a father he never knew existed (Giancarlo Esposito). In an instant, Rob not only acquires a father, but a stepmother (Rosa Arredondo) and a stepbrother (Victor Rasuk), Javi, who also has dreams of making it big in the music world. Together, Rob and Javi are determined to put their imprint on the widely popular world of reggaeton, a musical genre combining reggae, rap, salsa, and bomba. With the help of Rob's love interest, beautiful dancer C.C. (Zulay Henao), the duo just might hit the big time. Jennifer Lopez is one of the producers of this ode to Puerto Rico and its culture, which showcases reggaeton and hot dance moves. Grandberry shows the softer side of Rob, who has good intentions at heart even though trouble seems to follow him everywhere. But Rasuk is the scene-stealer as Javi, Rob's guide to all things Puerto Rican and reggaeton, and a talented musician in his own right. James McCaffrey appears as a big-time record executive who has more on his mind than music, and Melonie Diaz plays C.C.'s friend, MiMi. [More]

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.

A horrid excuse for teen escapism...for those who find Hannah Montana too challenging.

First-time screenwriter Albert Leon appears to have turned for music industry insight not to his famous producer (who has no excuses) but to other music-themed movies (Mariah Carey’s Glitter, perhaps?).

The plot is contrived, the performances are all over the board, and Chomski's camera ogles his actresses just a little too much.

An awkwardly executed drama with a leading man better suited for the concert stage, not the movie screen.

This music-driven melodrama aims to salute and promote a cultural phenomenon -- reggaeton music, in this case -- by slathering it all over an instantly forgettable, cliché-laden pop flick.

Possibly the least provocative hip-hop movie ever that didn't star Lil' Bow Wow, Feel The Noise is the kind of feel-good/kid-with-a-dream-overcomes-the-odds story we're used to seeing starring white kids named Hilary or Lance.

...a music-fueled drama with far less substance than most CD liner notes.

For whatever reason you go to a movie like this, the results are bound to disappoint.

It’s hard to fault a screenwriter for cramming every idea he’s ever had about anything into his first movie for fear there won’t be a second.

You really can feel the noise...right down t your bones. And that's what this above-average movie is all about: Music.

This simplistic teen drama features an engaging young star but doesn't miss a "follow your dreams" cliche.

Producer Jennifer Lopez's cameo in the film's climactic Puerto Rican Day parade sequence feels like a victory lap for successfully bilking film financiers and moviegoers out of their money.

Reggaeton has officially come of age: The burgeoning subgenre now has a terrible, opportunistic exploitation movie to call its own.
