I spent a lot of this movie thinking about how much I really liked it. At first I dismissed it as just another anthology movie, but as it went on I often thought that it had crossed over into "really good" territory. At its heart, the movie is about all of the different stages that we go through in relationships. The movie does feel a bit sterile and tidy (especially the ending), but whatever. It really grew on me and I was sad when it ended. follow me at https://IHATEBadMovies.com or facebook IHATEBadMovies

Play by Heart is a fairly entertaining and unconventional romantic comedy. The film follows several people throughout L.A., and the various kinds and stages of relationships that they’re in. The cast is surprisingly good and includes Angelina Jolie, Ryan Phillippe, Gillian Anderson, Madeleine Stowe, and Sean Connery. The story is well-written for the most part and has some interesting things to say about people and relationships. However, it takes on a few too many characters and forces itself a bit. Yet while it has some issues, Play by Heart is a unique and entertaining film that has a good message.
