Synopsis
After a run-in with local thugs, aspiring Harlem rapper Rob flees to a place and father he never knew, and finds his salvation in Reggaeton, a spicy blend of hip-hop, reggae and Latin beats. Puerto Rico, the spiritual home of Reggaeton, inspires Rob and his step-brother Javi to pursue their dream of becoming Reggaeton stars. Together with a dancer named C.C., they learn what it means to stay true to themselves and each other, while overcoming obstacles in love, greed and pride, all culminating in an explosive performance at New York’s Puerto Rican Day Parade.

TV Guide Magazine
Painfully cliched. The music is throbbing and the leads are cute, but there's nothing here viewers haven't seen before. - 50
The Hollywood Reporter
No one will mistake director Alejandro Chomski's Feel the Noise for great drama. But there's an undeniable sweetness to the characters, the performers are highly appealing, and the music sizzles. - 50
New York Daily News
The plot is contrived, the performances are all over the board, and Chomski's camera ogles his actresses just a little too much. - 50
The New York Times
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. - 50
Boston Globe
Old story, new beat: That sums up Feel the Noise, an acceptable if resolutely average low-budget drama set in the New York/Puerto Rican musical melting pot known as reggaeton. - 40
Variety
Trifling time-killer. - 40
Austin Chronicle
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. - 30

Inane uplift tale for teens.
