A very slight and inoffensive movie. It's a lot like L.A. itself, all surface, soothing and warm.

Reviews for Playing By Heart
A well-scripted ensemble drama about eleven people in Los Angeles searching for love.
The dozen or so lead characters of Playing By Heart fear silence the way Biblical people feared locusts.
Jolie's spunky, heartfelt, Oscar-nod-worthy performance is easily the film's best--which is no small feat, considering the caliber of the actors surrounding her.
An always-entertaining and fairly thoughtful film on the subject of love, and how everyone hopes for it in one way or another.
