Great British entertainment. No guns No car chases No screeching cars Just a good honest movie that touches the heart strings - literally.

Even though the story is cliche and you kind of know where the story is heading, it is simple and sweet! I like the relationship between Steve and Tom. Tom may be a nerd but he Knows how to pester and annoy an adult like a kid. Love this movie. It feels short! The good ending was rather abrupt tho!!

This was one of those films I was expecting to have on in the background but not really find myself being interested in. However, I was pleasantly surprised and found myself really paying attention to the film and the music. All the main characters play their parts very well and come out with credit for their performances. Especially the young male lead, Nicholas Galitzine, who performs the music as well as coming across as the shy, awkward teen. There is also a quite difficult scene involving self harm, that would have been difficult to put across without being condescending. The plot line in a bit predictable to some extent, as you can guess how things work out but overall, this is a feel good film with good music and I came away feeling that I had enjoyed the previous 90 minutes.

The Beat Beneath My Feet is a charming musical dramaedy about a teenage social outcast named Tom (Nicholas Galitzine) who discovers his rowdy neighbor (Luke Perry) is actually a former rock & roll legend who fakes his own death to escape financial debt. I loved this coming-of-age film because it thoughtfully shows the struggles of growing up and finding yourself. It is definitely relatable to young adults and teens who have ever struggled with fitting in and I especially loved how Tom's passion of music helped him reach his full-potential. It also included an amazingly up- beat soundtrack that was an exceptional addition to the film. This inspirational indie flick is definitely worth the watch if you haven't already had the chance to see it.

Won't entertain anything with Lisa Dillon in. She's awful to her staff and colleagues. She's so stuck up and rude, calling her make up artists terrible names and thinking she's actually a somebody. She thinks she's a diva but she's actually a nasty person.

I don't know why so many folks rated this as low as they did; I found it by accident, loved the story, acting, sound .... The soundtrack actually surprised and thrilled me! Yes it is formulaic to a degree, but really, who cares?

I gave the movie a very kind and generous 7 out of 10. Don't get me wrong. There are some fine performances to be enjoyed. Acting, directing etc are all on par. Luke Perry is surprisingly believable as the former great and Nicholas Galitzine puts in a fine performance as the up and coming talent. But the plot did remind me an awful lot of 'about a boy'...just with less jokes, in fact no jokes at all. This is a movie that wants to take itself serious, when in truth, it was just in serious need of more apples. We are thrust into the world of a young and talented musician unsure of his own ability and a former music great, with a shady past who is wasting his life away. The young student blackmails the legend into teaching him to play like a rock-star. Hence, both grow through each other and reach a climax not unlike the afore mentioned movie. This time unfortunately though, there is no apple flung from the crowd to balance the scene. There is no humour, no contrast, just a movie that says, 'this is about hard core rock and roll and being bad ass'. I can't help but feel that it falls flat of such high goals. This movie tries to reach to provoke emotion and bring us on a journey of discovery through hardship. But I doesn't really think it manages to accomplish that. Just like the over- played, self-proclaimed amazing hit that would make 'anyone a star'...it simply fails. The song is bland and although slightly catchy it is kind of churned out and clichéd. Which is very apt as it parallels the movie nicely. If it comes on TV give it a chance. I wouldn't go out of my way to see it though. More apples please.

I like movies about music, and while this film offered no surprises in the story it was still enjoyable due to the strong performances from the two male leads. Luke Perry is a great fit for his role as the former rock star with a tragic past. Nick Galitzine does very well as the shy teen who just wants to play music, even though he has to hide his love of music from his mom. The music and song writing are not very deep but fit the character who is just learning to play. Perry and Galitzine do their own singing and playing in the film, and while they may not be ready for music careers they both perform well within the limits of their roles.

The Beat Beneath My Feet is a deliciously entertaining musical romp that is sure to inspire dreamers of all ages. The film tells the story of Tom (Nicholas Galitzine), a painfully shy high schooler determined to become a rock star. When Tom discovers that his unruly neighbor (90210's Luke Perry) is actually a "dead" grunge musician with a mountain of unpaid debt, he gives his neighbor an ultimatum: teach him how to become a great singer-songwriter or else he will expose his secret to the world. Perry and Galitzine have amazing chemistry, both delivering brilliantly believable performances as two birds with broken wings. What's particularly notable about this film are its musical sequences. Director John Williams (who directed music videos for Radiohead and Coldplay) manages to orchestrate surreal and truly fascinating musical episodes (featuring rockin' original music) that intelligently parallel what is happening in the story. The Beat Beneath My Feat is a delightful good time that features Luke Perry at the top of his game, and will likely make a star out of talented newcomer Galitzine.
