  The Five Heartbeats - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Five Heartbeats is a 1991 film produced and directed by Robert Townsend, who also stars in the film with Leon, Harry J. Lennix, Tico Wells, Michael Wright, Harold Nicholas of The Nicholas Brothers, and Diahann Carroll.
Since The Five Heartbeats is about a musical group, the film features a significant amount of original music, including songs such as "The Heart is a House for Love", "We Haven't Finished Yet" (written and sung by Duck and his sister in their bedroom), and the Heartbeats' signature song, "Nothing But Love".
In The Five Heartbeats, Eddie King is the Ruffinesque figure, and is replaced by Michael "Flash" Turner.

 DVD Verdict Review - The Five Heartbeats
Unfortunately for them, a lot of these competitions are rigged and The Five Heartbeats find themselves on the outside looking in until they meet up with Jimmy Potter (Chuck Patterson), who agrees to refine their act and manage their careers despite past failures.
The Five Heartbeats quickly become successful and ultimately succumb to the dangers of success, such as rampant womanizing, bitter infighting and jealousy, natural sibling rivalry, drugs and alcohol, and greed.
In the hands of a more capable director, maybe The Five Heartbeats wouldn't have felt as rushed as it did, but as it stands Townsend should either have cut a couple of subplots out of the film or extended the run time by half an hour.

 THE FIVE HEARTBEATS - DVD
A once or future 'VH1 movie that rocks,' The Five Heartbeats follows the rise and fall of the titular fictitious Motown singing group headed up by velvet-tonsiled Eddie (Michael Wright) and Duck Matthews (Townsend), the proverbial "brains" of the outfit.
There are just too many trembling moments of wounded pride and over-scripted polemical diatribes in The Five Heartbeats, its nadir arriving when the guys are picked up by the evil Georgia police and Duck mournfully sings "America the Beautiful" in the back of a cruiser.
The Five Heartbeats almost affronts the legacy it seeks to celebrate.

 DVDFILE.COM: The Five Heartbeats review   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-06)
Co-written by Keenan Ivory Wayans, The Five Heartbeats tells the tale of five friends who start an RandB band whose career arc spans the ascendance of the Motown movement in music from the middle 60's to the early 70's.
The scenes that play the best are those that show the band members standing by each other in difficult times, such as when the pregnancy of one of the singers' girlfriend threatens to break the band up, and in the later scenes of the film when each man has redeemed himself in his own way.
The Five Heartbeats is presented in anamorphic widescreen at approximately 1.78:1.

 The DVD Journal | Quick Reviews: The Five Heartbeats   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-06)
To follow up his critically acclaimed novice effort Hollywood Shuffle, director Robert Townsend turned his attention to the doo-wop acts of the '60s, following the fictitious band The Five Heartbeats from their origins to present day.
Like most films about becoming famous, The Five Heartbeats concentrates on the group's rise and fall, making the first hour much more enjoyable than the second hour's predictable decline (though the decline is not as telegraphed as many of genre).
The eventual failings of the group wouldn't be so off-putting if Heartbeats had kept the music going throughout — like The Idolmaker before it and Velvet Goldmine after it — since the faux period music is excellent and gives the picture a buoyancy that is sorely missed during the more dramatic second half.

Unfortunately, while it may be new to him, the audience will find "The Five Heartbeats" awfully familiar.
This is a sentimental, by-the-numbers yarn about five young friends who form a singing group in the mid-'60s and spend the next 20 years struggling through various soap opera plot developments.
On the whole, "The Five Heartbeats" (rated R for violence, profanity, sex and drug abuse), is entertaining, with a happy ending that is undeniably moving, despite the fact that you'll see it coming a mile away.

The Five Heartbeats is the opposite of a guilty pleasure; instead of feeling bad about liking it, I felt bad about not liking it more.
Their first song, a seat-of-the-pants affair for a talent show, captures the sheer love of music that led the five of them to start singing in the first place.
The Five Heartbeats was obviously a labour of love for Townsend, but watching it can feel like more labour than love.
