Many adjectives can be used to describe The Five Heartbeats: cheesy, corny, terrible, laughable, stupid, and
hard-to-watch.
It's the Barney version of rock 'n' roll that reeks of bad acting. Michael Wright is the only one who gives a
decent performance. No wonder why Robert Townsend, a name I hadn't heard in years, fell off the map.
All in all, The Five Heartbeats has no pulse.
