I quite like ~Jane Levy as an actress. She is usually found in light hearted comedies, so i was expecting similar for this, and i wasn't wrong. It is actually quite a sweet feel good comedy with some serious moments. It is probably more of a dramedy.

Jane plays a computer coder who has trouble connecting with people, until she experiences and earthquake while having an MRI. All of a sudden she can hear people's thoughts as music or musical numbers. Using this she is able to help a colleague who is suffering depression alone and is able to hear he father for the first time after he has been locked into his body through a neurological condition.

She has to deal with her crazy colleagues and work out hope to cope with her new found power with the help of her music loving neighbour.

It is very well done and is quite different from anything i have seen before. The musical numbers are cheesy but not overly so and are short and choreographed in a manner that adds to the storyline rather than detracts from it. It is easy to handle even for those that don't like such things !

So if you like light hearted comedies that don't take themselves too seriously, with good storylines, then i recommend that you give this a go !
