What's with all the recent hate reviews? I loved this film!

I was laying in bed last night, scanning channels and came across 'Sweet Nothing in My Ear'. I hit info and up came that Jeff Daniels was starring, so I figured what the hell--five minutes and I had to see it through to the end regardless of how late at night it was.The portrayal of deaf communication for hearing listeners is fantastic, I loved the voice-over approach because personally I find subtitles distracting and obviously not everyone who watched the film would be able to understand sign language on it's own, so I loved how they tackled that problem, it really broke the barrier, and got across exactly what the characters themselves were trying to say; deaf people are no different nor less able than hearing people!The acting is great, I was impressed with Jeff Daniels portraying emotion over his son and wife, especially since the last time I had seen him was when he was hanging out with Jim Carrey and driving a Dog-Van!In conclusion (to my first ever review on here, so be gentle!) I would definitely recommend checking this movie out as it's heart-warming and very eye-opening. 4/5.Thanks for reading :)

Very good.

Loved this movie about Deaf and Hearing in the family and the love that flowed throughout. Have watched it several times and have determined this to be one of my classic Hallmark movies, along with the 1985 movie, Love is Never Silent. The storyline was well thought out and the acting was great. In addition to the voicing and speaking, I am glad they also included the reality of using American Sign Language in this movie. I thought the voice overs for the deaf characters in the movie were very smooth with their tonality for age and inflections. You know a movie is good when it ends nicely and then you start wanting to expand it more. It was nice to see how the actors who played the maternal grandparents in this movie had gracefully aged from when they were younger in the movie, Love is Never Silent.". Loved it James Welch Henderson Arkansas. 5/8/21.
