DVD Review - The Heart Specialist

About the DVD
In the world of modern romance, there are players and there are experts. But when you want to trade your swagger for a sweetheart… you need a specialist. Get ready for some heart-stopping, jaw-dropping comedy when the hilarious romantic indie film THE HEART SPECIALIST drops onto Blu-ray and DVD on October 4 from Twentieth Century Fox Home Entertainment. Making its debut at the Boston Film Festival (“Audience Award” winner) and the Urban World Film Festival (“Best Film” winner), THE HEART SPECIALIST tickles the funny bone as it resuscitates the love lives of a sassy cast of characters.


Smooth-talking lothario Ray Howard (Brian J. White, “Men of a Certain Age”), a young Harvard Medical School graduate, arrives for his internship at a hospital in South Florida to pursue his ex-girlfriend Valerie (Grammy Award®-winner Mya, Chicago) who can’t forgive his womanizing ways. When his supervisor, Dr. Sidney Zachary (NAACP Image Award®-nominee Wood Harris, “The Wire”), discovers that Ray has put the moves on his own girlfriend, nurse Donna (BET Award®-winner Zoe Saldana, Avatar, Star Trek), the two conspire with the rest of the hospital staff, patients, and friends to teach Ray a lesson—not just about medicine, but also about true love.


THE HEART SPECIALIST features stellar supporting performances from Marla Gibbs (“The Jeffersons”), Leon Robinson (Cool Runnings), Method Man (How High), Thomas ‘Nephew Tommy’Miles (“The Mo’Nique Show”), Jasmine Guy (“Another World”), Scott Paulin (“Castle”), Kenneth Choi (Captain America: The First Avenger), Terrence J (“106 & Park”), and comic legend Ed Asner (Up). The film will be available on Blu-ray and DVD, U.S. only. Pre-book is September 7.

My Take on the DVDThis was a funny movie with a great cast. I enjoyed and appreciated what the movie had to say and the way in which the movie shared the message. I have to say that going into this I had not heard anything about the movie, but as I sat down to watch the movie itself, I found that the movie just flew by and that I completely enjoyed what I was watching. On to of all of this the cast did a great job with their characters. You are drawn into the story and come to a better appreciation of the situations and the humor surrounding the story line. All-in-all this was a funny, enjoyable movie that I would highly recommend!
