Rating: 3/4 -- Most movies claiming to be based on fact pour on the melodrama, but this one basically just sticks to the real story, which has all the emotional wallop that's needed. Full Review

Rating: 3.5/4 -- Doesn't revolve around a self-centered main character or possess the schmaltz of Mr. Holland's Opus. Full Review

...Streep brings an edgy, no-bull quality to the role that pays off in earned sentiment at the inspirational finale...

Rating: 3/5 -- Novice writer Pamela Gray has pumped this already-amazing story full of melodramatic embellishment and, in so doing, all but ruined its impact. Full Review

Meryl dominates the proceedings. She simply disappears into the role, and the movie, for all its educational impulses, becomes about watching her do it. Full Review

Rating: C+ -- The vacuous but well-meaning pic is poorly executed and seems as if it were a TV movie. Full Review

Product Description:

The uplifting true story of violin teacher Roberta Guaspari (Streep), a woman who battled insurmountable odds to teach underprivileged children in East Harlem the gift of music. As Roberta struggles to convince a skeptical school board--as well as skeptical parents--that this music will help the children immensely, she must conquer seemingly insurmountable odds to do just that. Eventually, she does. Based on the documentary SMALL WONDERS, MUSIC OF THE HEART proves that Craven is more than just a horror director.
