Entertainment Reviews:
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.

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

Meryl Streep received yet another Oscar nomination for this conventional biopic of the Harlem music teacher, directed by no other than horror maestro wes Craven.

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

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

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

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.
