Amazon.com: Micky O'Neill (Adrian Dunbar) is a born salesman. As the booker of the local theater/dance hall, he is famous for hiring almost-celebrities like Franc Cinatra. When he is unable to tell his girlfriend (the beautiful Tara Fitzgerald) that he loves her, in so many words, she storms out of their bedroom. In order to win her back--and curry favor with her mother, not to mention keep his job--he decides to book famous tenor Joe Locke, who's wanted by the government for tax reasons and hasn't performed in decades. So begins Micky's quest to find the reclusive singer--and himself. The movie is so enthusiastically cheerful, it wins you over early on with its good-natured energy, and then never lets up. Hear My Song is like a rural British version of The Blues Brothers, with a tenor instead of a blues band, minus a whole lotta car wrecks, but a final performance surrounded by police. Really, how can you argue with that? --Andy Spletzer

Rating: - I Keep Hoping This Gem Will Come Out on DVD
Every once in a while, I check to see if this movie is out on DVD yet. And I'm still disappointed. I rented this years ago, and it is rollicking good fun.
Rating: - A favorite
This is one of my top-10 movies. I've seen it maybe 12 times, and the laughs are guaranteed every time. Offbeat in that inimitably Irish way! Why no DVD yet?
