CommentsXp Best movie ever!

Voxitype Good films always raise compelling questions, whether the format is fiction or documentary fact.

Jenni Devyn Worth seeing just to witness how winsome it is.

happycarrot68 After watching 'London City' I had flashbacks to this thankfully forgotten effort from a few years back.From the opening scenes you get the feeling of a predictable, low budget, romantic piece of nonsense with the obvious predictable ending. The whole film had the feeling of a poorly acted school play, the flash back to the 80s scene was particularly hilarious where they somehow managed to make the characters look older with the appearance of 40 year olds going to an oldies night.On the plus side for Charlotte Church, I doubt too many ever saw this, it truly is a poor piece of work, a DVD that would make a better drink's coaster than viewing if you were given as a Xmas present from the 99p bargain bin.

d81840 In the final credits it lists "in memory of David "Kam" Covner 1070-2002" Who is he? P.S. My wife and I both loved this little gem. Watched it on a cold and damp Saturday with smiles on our faces. Ms. Church has a sweet voice and she can act right there with the best of them. Craig Fergesun really fooled us though, we kind of thought that he was only good for late night television (and only just) when all of a sudden here's this real actor, playing a character with real acting skills.( I know that sounds bad Craig, sorry. I mean it as a complement.) Ms. Richardson, ah yes. What a beauty! She and Ms. Church really could be mother and daughter, both in looks and the way they interact with each other.

Jeremy Scholes A better than expected "star" vehicle for Charlotte Church's film debut. She inevitably gets some criticism for just being herself in normal life but in this film she is at least as good as most 16 year old actresses with possibly rather more training would be albeit it's true that to some extent she is playing herself. I've always thought Jemma Redgrave to be a wooden actress but she isn't too bad here and does a good job of looking extremely proud of her daughter by the end. The flashback when she plays herself at 18 stretches the imagination though.Joss Ackland is quite effective as the old rocker of a grandfather. He seems to be having a ball singing with the rock band and it is his own voice. I just about remembered he has sung in the past and played Juan Peron on the original album of Evita.Craig Ferguson is in mixed form as the rock star. Early on he is a caricature and doesn't act very well in the attempt but as the character calms down he gives a better performance.Overall a good family film - A predictable ending (It was obvious what Charlotte's closing song in the film would be from very early on - Anbd the title gave another clue) but none the worse for that.

j.p.mcgrath unfortunately not many of them were in this film. It was made up of mostly English trying to pass themselves off as Welsh and doing it badly.Otherwise I would agree with the current 6.4ish rating. Charlotte Church was quite good for her first film. Craig Ferguson was entertaining and Jemma Redgrave was nice to look at.It was a feel good movie that was done better than most of the tosh that is factory produced in the states.
