Raise Your Voice (2004)

An Awesomely Bad Gem for Classical Singers

This movie is completely ridiculous to anyone who knows anything about music. It is, for all intents and purposes, one of the most terrible movies ever made, but there is an enjoyable "awesomely bad" element for people who actually know about classical singing. Seeing "Caro Mio Ben" portrayed as this impossibly difficult song, even though it is the first and easiest classical piece, any singer learns, is quite funny. My personal favorite scene is when she sings "Caro Mio Ben' for her "scary" slavic music teacher the second time around because there is a metronome beating loudly in the back ground, yet Hilary Duff is singing in a completely unrelated tempo.

In summation, every classical singer should watch this and have a laugh.

There is no other reason to watch this movie. The director and actors obviously have no respect or knowledge of music. November 19, 2008

Hilary Duff's Best Movie

I was really suprised that there were such low reviews on this movie. I thought it was a great movie. I didn't think it was a cheesy movie at all. It was very emotional and sweet. I cried several times. I thought it was very inspiring. The acting and singing was well done as well. I'm not a big fan of Hilary Duff, but she did a really good job in this movie. She was convincing and very impressive. It was without a doubt Hilary Duff's best movie. Regardless of whether you are a fan of her or not, it is great movie. December 14, 2007

Raise Your Voice

Raise Your Voice

Raise Your Voice is about Terri Fletcher, (Hilary Duff) a girl who can sing amazing, just like a big-time singer. With her dream to be a singer, Terri goes to a music school in L.A. She is believed by her father (David Keith), to be at her Aunt Nina's (Rebecca DeMornay). While at this school, she meets Jay (Oliver James) this really cute boy who helps her to sing in front of many people and not get the feeling of her brother, Paul (Jason Ritter) being gone.
This film's main setting is in L.A. at the music school. It also takes place at Terri's school, her Aunt Nina's, her house, and at a Three Days Grace concert. The film length is approximately 107 minutes. It is rated PG. Raise Your Voice is directed by Sean McNamara. The screenplay is written by Sam Schreiber.
I think that Duff was a wonderful actress and that this was one of her greatest films yet. Terri was excited, yet scared, but cheerful and happy, yet sad.
I would recommend this movie for anyone eight and older. Also, I would recommend this movie to anyone who is interested in making it big in music because most of the kids in the movie are interested in going far. I think that this movie was fun, with a touch of sadness and excitement.
To find out more in depth of this movie, rent or buy Raise Your Voice. June 13, 2007
