john w They don't make them like this anymore, that old adage has never been more apt, sit back and enjoy this charming and delightful story. Rated 5/5 Stars •  Rated 5 out of 5 stars 08/24/23 Full Review isla s This is very much a sentimental, cheesy film but I enjoyed it for it's light hearted nature and the cast members, including Adrian 'Ted hastings' Dunbar and James 'Lucky Man' Nesbitt. It has the feel of a TV film about it but its very much Sunday evening TV territory. A bit of silly fun and no more, this is an ok film that may make you smile and I'd recommend it on that basis. The ending is particularly daft.Its all pretty daft and I'm not sure I followed the story properly - I may watch it again but primarily to see the aforementioned cast again. This isn't really a particularly clever film or anything but its certainly amusing never the less, so I suppsoe I'd recommend it only on that basis. Rated 3/5 Stars •  Rated 3 out of 5 stars 03/31/23 Full Review steve d Not cute and really unlikable. Rated 2/5 Stars •  Rated 2 out of 5 stars 03/30/23 Full Review Audience Member One of my all-time favourites. Sheer delight from start to finish. Rated 5/5 Stars •  Rated 5 out of 5 stars 01/18/23 Full Review Audience Member Disgraced promoter searches for lost tenor on the lam for tax evasion to make up for booking a fraud. This one has 'critic's choice' written all over it. In the end, it's a story of redemption-for the promoter and the tenor-and a film that redeems itself after a relatively slow start. Rated 3/5 Stars •  Rated 3 out of 5 stars 02/24/23 Full Review Audience Member The directorial debut of Peter Chelsom, who later went on to direct comedies like Funny Bones (1995), Serendipity (2001) and Shall We Dance? (2004). This is a charming and warmly funny fable which was based on the absence of a real life singer, this is a very charming film with a lot of heart and good humour, as well as some good performances. It still stands the test of time these days, and it's a joy to watch. In the Irish part of Liverpool, nightclub owner Micky O'Neill (Adrian Dunbar) is struggling to get any good acts for the punters, but when he learns that he can get reclusive Irish tenor Josef Locke (Ned Beatty) to appear, Micky promotes this one to high heavens. However, it turns out the Locke he booked is a fake going around as Mr. X (William Hootkins). This causes Micky to lose the night club and his girlfriend Nancy (Tara Fitzgerald). But, it sparks determination inside him, and Micky travels to Ireland to find the real Josef Locke, who has hid away in Ireland since the 1950's for tax reasons, but he won't give in, and he plans to bring Locke back to Liverpool, and win everything back. This is a film cut from similar cloth to the old Ealing Comedies and even Local Hero (1983), which has a lot of sly humour, good dialogue and a lot of local heart. It's also a bit of a road movie at one point, it's a shame Chelsom hasn't done anything as good as this. Rated 4/5 Stars •  Rated 4 out of 5 stars 02/05/23 Full Review Read all reviews
