I remember when i first saw this on Mtv..this movie was i think one of the best Mtv tv movies that mtv made.
this movie is a modern day love story....A young, privileged medical student (Monica Arnold-R&B singer Monica) finds herself torn between a fellow med student who has won her father's approval and a struggling blues musician (Christian Kane- known for lindsey on Angel) who has won her heart. i want this movie to come out on DVD come on paramount mtv release it on DVD.

I saw this movie on MTV when it was first released. I enjoyed almost every bit of it. Christian Kane made a great debut in this flick showing his remarkable acting skills as a bad boy but good hearted struggling blues musician. Monica does a great job herself making her character believable. It would be nice to see this released on DVD.

When I first heard about this movie, I was definitely skeptical. I had seen my fair share of singers trying to be actresses, so I wanted to see for myself if Monica could pull off a starring role.

For the most part, I thought the story was very nice. Monica did a pretty good job with her acting. However, there were moments where her emotions seemed forced - almost as if she was trying too hard. Christian Kane did an excellent job as her love interest even though I wish his character would have been developed a little more.

Overall, this is a pretty good movie. It was nice to see a movie about an interracial couple where things turned out for the good and the characters didn't let society and their families determine their happiness.

I enjoyed the movie "Love Song" very much. It was warm, funny, and thought provoking. I enjoyed not only the relationship that Monica built with Christian Kane, but also her relationship with her mother and her girlfriends/roommates.

It was refreshing to see a good, complicated love story without the unnecessary, steamy love scenes. Love is complicated and the movie did a good job of portraying how complicated love can be particularly if you are crossing cultures.

Lastly, I played the movie over and over again just to hear Christian Kane sing (no disrespect to Monica)but I loved his voice. I searched frantically for a Soundtrack for this movie but couldn't find out if there actually was one. If anyone knows if there was a soundtrack and how I could get a copy, I would be grateful to hear from you.

I rented Love Song, watched it and just fell in love with every part of it. I lived in New Orleans and have roots there so I know about the beauty and its prejudice color struck history. This movie was so well done and I applaud the beautiful and talanted cast. I love interracial movies anyway but this one is more special and pure than most I've seen. It touched on family issues, family pressure, friends acceptance, following your heart no matter what...WOW, it had it all! I am super proud of my girl Monica and the rest of the cast. This was a LONG overdue film. The "brown bag skin issue" was strong in New Orleans, especially at Xavier University. They are known to prefer and accept lighter skinned blacks as students. I was just glad to see a film which finally told the TRUTH about a lot of things. YOU SHOULD BUY THIS!!

I love this movie for the romance between the two main characters Billy & Camille. It was so nice to see an actual romatic love develop between two people instead of over the top sex scenes.

The music fit the movie beautifully, wish there was a soundtrack and would love for there to be a sequel.

From the moment I saw the promos on MTV, I knew 'Love Song' was 'MUST SEE TV' for me. Being an avid fan of both Christian Kane, the actor and Monica Arnold, the songstress, I was very anxious to see them mix it up and try filling each other's shoes. I was not disappointed. Monica proved that singing isn't her only talent and I was totlly blown away by Christian's singing ability. The storyline was the classic boy meets/looses /gets girl back but with an interracial twist. The characters, Camille and Billy Ryan, were very likable.The script realistic and often funny, and oh how I wish they'd release the music as a soundtrack! If you're a hopeful romantic, Love Song is worth the watch.

I fell inlove with Kane's and Arnold's characters right from the beginning. The chemistry between them was very tangible and hot and this was especially protrayed in the song they sang together.I could not stop watching this. My children keep saying "Mom not again!". Kane's character Billy was awesome, he came across as tell-it-like-it-is, confident man. A person who will not let an opportunity pass him (when he sees something or someone that he wants). When I think about Billy one word comes to mind PASSION. I also liked the internal conflict Arnold's character felt in trying to please her parents, and friends.The realization of her love for Billy gave her the strength to break away from the hold her parents and Calvin had on her and the freedom to pursue the career of her choice. Billy was her "Mojo".

Not since "The Jeffersons" has interracial love been such an integral part of our culture. "Love Song" proves this. Camille Livingston and Billy Ryan make such a fantastic couple that I want to jump into his shoes.
The Monica and Christian Kane on-screen chemistry was so powerful, I am surprised that it has not spilled over into their real lives. As for others in the cast, I think Essence Atkins and Rachel True should give up their roles on "Half and Half" and start a series titled Love Song (on UPN, of course). I hope there will be a "Love Song 2" with Camille and Billy tying the knot.

I really loved this one. Monica really did it. For this to be her first acting debute this is a hot movie. I truly think Monica is one of the most gifted R&B singers out you really just have to give her a chance and watch she will shine. I think her and the late Aaliyah was the greatest of there times. And with this movie I hope more offers come Monica's way so It can expand her horizon. So to all of you Monica fans her debute from J-Records hit stores on either November 12, or the 19th which ever date it is go out and support our Miss Thang. You got singers that don't even have a talent like Ashanti get recognized. So Monica fans lets get out there and help our true Princess Out. One Love
