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.

An ill-advised vanity project that will do little to salvage its star's sullied reputation.

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.

A fun humorous family film with themes of love, redemption, and coming of age.

Enjoyable, if predictable, film. Love Craig Ferguson, so it's worth the watch just for him.

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.
