Delightful,refreshing romance. This is what a movie should be like.

"Play it By Ear" is a return to a true romantic comedy. It is charming and refreshing. The characters are believable and make you realize what we are missing in a lot of movies of today. There is so much to relate to in these characters. They are people of today with values and morals. The characters aren't all jaded and vulgar but sweet and refined. When you see the movie you see true romantic characters. The boyfriend Joe, was the typical guy that is the kind you want to bring home to mother but not quite good enough. He's a teacher. She could accept that if he was a high school English teacher but, not only a third grade classroom teacher. He has brother that seemed perfect for her. What a dilemma. Should she continue to date the brother that likes her but appears not to be suited to her or should she go after the brother with her interests? See this movie and find out what happens in this delightful romance,
