nicholls_les What a pleasant change to see Jamaica as it really is on film. Thee have been too many movies and documentaries that show the seedier side of the Island, which is a small part of what this beautiful Island is really about. One love does show the corruption of the record industry there and also highlights the religious prejudice that exists (but that is not unique to Jamaica). It was lovely to see some of the beauty of Jamaica shown and not just the usual beach scenes.Overall as others have said this is a feel good movie. The ending is a bit over soppy and unrealistic but apart from that it is well worth a watch.

Irishchatter I honestly thought this movie was breathtaking and just wonderful. I felt like I was in a different world because the soundtrack was just so brilliant! I couldn't believe Bob Marley's son Ky-Mani Marley actually was playing the lead role in a romantic Jamican story, this! It just made the movie better and I only discovered this after watching the movie last night! I really thought he was only just a regular guy acting in this movie, I had a strange feeling that it was more than that haha!Cherine Anderson was such an excellent singer. I was surprised that her and Marley didn't get to the charts, they are so talented even as a duet! I would love to have heard the songs on the radio, it would explode with such love from the fans! I was so happy to have seen Idris Elba in the movie, his Jamaican accent wasn't that great but still, he is a great actor and I'm glad he got involved with this too! Funny enough, I always think of him as his notable role as Nelson Mandela so it was hard for me to think of him as the character on this haha! As user grumpy-3 in one of the reviews said, this is definitely a feel good movie, it would lighten up your mood so go watch it now!!! :D

carenyvonne-1 This predictable tale of love overcoming prejudice and good overcoming evil was disappointing. The acting was weak at best and, in some cases, downright bad. Kymani Marley appeared as one of the better actors, seeming less stilted, more comfortable in his role and in front of the camera. Cherine, as Serena, despite her unbelievably beautiful voice, was surprisingly disappointing, as one would expect some improvement since her earlier exposure as a teenager in Dance Hall Queen. Seasoned actors Idris Elba and Vas Blackwood appeared more natural than the rest of the cast as did Christopher Daley, albeit in a dud role.Overall, the language in the film came across as stilted. It seems that in an effort to 'water down' the Jamaican dialect, people ended up sounding unnatural. Yet this has been done successfully in other films. Better direction might have led to people seeming and sounding more real, but in several instances, the language did not come across as what a Jamaican would typically say in the situation.Some scenes could easily have been deleted without any loss to the overall story and their inclusion begs the question. Others scenes that were important to the storyline were just unconvincing in their execution.

metorahtid-1 I think this is an excellent film. It shows Jamaica in a different light...The cinematography is amazing and the cast compliment each other well. I was very impressed with the music in the film. I find it both impressive and unusual that the lead actors could actually "really" sing.I didn't believe that Anderson was really singing until I witnessed her first hand in Toronto at a party for the Film Festival. SHe definitely has presence and is singer, no doubt. Marley definitely has screen presence and looks good on camera. I liked him in this role. However, at times the pace of the film was a little slow...but it's definitely a feel good movie. Definitely a must see. Looking at the credits i wonder "what was life like on set?"..the team was part Jamaican, part British, and part Norwegian... When will this film come to theaters in the US...I hope soon I really enjoyed it.
