Empire Magazine Rated: 2/5 Dec 30, 2006 Full Review Ray Bennett Hollywood Reporter In a story close to her real life, Charlotte Church has no great stretches to make and she handles lines and movement with the aplomb of the outstanding concert performer that she is. Jun 24, 2003 Full Review Neil Smith BBC.com An ill-advised vanity project that will do little to salvage its star's sullied reputation. Rated: 2/5 May 20, 2003 Full Review Matthew Turner ViewLondon Rated: 3/5 Jun 21, 2003 Full Review Cherryl Dawson and Leigh Ann Palone TheMovieChicks.com This movie is a light romp and a little different from your typical romantic comedy, because most of the relationship building is between the father and daughter. Rated: 3.5/5 Jun 20, 2003 Full Review Read all reviews

Susan R A fun humorous family film with themes of love, redemption, and coming of age. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 07/11/23 Full Review Audience Member Enjoyable, if predictable, film. Love Craig Ferguson, so it's worth the watch just for him. Rated 3 out of 5 stars 01/27/23 Full Review michael t This is a fun and engaging story. It's not primarily a comedy, rather a family drama with a light tone. Craig Ferguson did a good job with the script and as the lead character. Charlotte Church, as the daughter, has a beautiful voice and plays the character just right. I was pleasantly surprised with this one. Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 03/31/23 Full Review Audience Member About forgiveness and second chances. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 02/13/23 Full Review Audience Member Great film. Jemma Redgrave is fantastic. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 01/21/23 Full Review Audience Member Boooooooooooooooorrrrrrrrrrring.... Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 01/23/23 Full Review Read all reviews
