It is a performances centric movie

Excellent, a Must See

It’s not bad or unwatchable but despite the amplitude of the spectacle, the end result is underwhelming.

Mostly, the movie is committed to the value of a good time.

Maryann (Amy Grant) is a gifted cellist and teaches music at the local high school. She is also blind, having been severely injured in an automobile accident that claimed the life of her parents and sister when she was an elementary-aged student. But, Maryann has spunk and gets around very well with the aide of her guide dog. The beautiful young musician also has nice next-door neighbors in widower Oliver (Keith Carradine) and his young daughter. One day, a famous modern pianist, Gregory (D. W. Moffett) comes to Maryann's school, for he has chosen her youth orchestra to play with him in a special concert. It seems Greg's career needs a publicity boost and he's always looking for his next big hit. Also, the pianist is single, as is Maryann, and after an initial dislike, the two start stepping out. Complicating matters is the news that Maryann may be eligible for a cornea transplant, something Gregory urges her to pursue. But, does the piano man really have room in his life and heart for anyone but himself, as he is rather egotistical? Could it be that Maryann has another suitor close by? This is quite a lovely film, predictable, but nice. Grant is truly beautiful as the main star and handles the acting role with ease. Moffett, Carradine and all of the other cast members do fine work, too. What a darling guide dog, too! The small city setting is pretty while the costumes are well selected. Despite the script's familiarity, it still has a touching story to tell and the smooth direction keeps it going. So, if you are a dyed-in-the-wool romantic, you will be happy to discover this film, as I did, on the bargain rack. Not only will you get a fine flick for a small sum, you also get a Grant CD in the same box, making the sale even better!

I liked working in this TV movie. yes, I had a chance of playing for this movie... I was one of the musician, who had recorded for the show. I think each actors did great job for the movie, but the story was not strong enough to explain many things. There were things that didn't make sense. i.e. When we had to pretend that we could not play Mozart well. (like they made us play horribly... seriously, it was actually funny doing that.) If we are one of the top conservatory in the country, students don't play like that!! Do you know how hard it is to get in to school like that?And sadly, there were supposed to be students' love triangle, that totally got cut off, b/c there weren't enough time! I totally wanted to see that, b/c I saw them acting!!!! And finally... Amy, D.W. Moffett, and Keith Carradine... their love triangle didn't make sense I thought. You can't just hop in and out!! Anyway so that was quite dissapointing TV movie I thought... And they even did the re-run. Like I said, the adult actors were very good.

I've listened to and enjoyed Amy Grant's music for the past 10 years, so I was pleased to see her expand her talents and try something new.While the story of A Song From The Heart is rather cheesy and predictable, it overall, was a heart-warming film. I found myself falling into the film, mainly due to Grant's believable portrayal of a blind musician.Grant's large fan base provided a guaranteed audience for the movie, but obviously others stayed tuned as it came in at 19 for the week it aired.I look forward to seeing Grant in future films, but music is certainly her forte and she would be smart to stick with it.

For twenty years I have known Amy Grant as a contemporary Christian music singer with a voice that radiates love and understanding. Now she is also showing great depth and range as an actress. This role was perfect for her talents! Hopefully this TV movie will be available on video. Thank you, Amy!
