Anthony Head, Charlotte Church, Craig Ferguson

This low-key, thoroughly delightful comedy is the product of Scottish comic/actor/writer/director Craig Ferguson's goofy and sweet imagination. Ferguson plays retired rock star Paul Kerr, a 1980s sens...( read more  read more... )ation whose whiskey-fueled antics in a Welsh mansion land him, involuntarily, in a psychiatric hospital. In short order, an old bandmate (Ralph Brown) turns up to help Paul get sober, and a long-lost love (Jemma Redgrave) introduces the mortified musician to an adolescent daughter (Charlotte Church) he never knew he had. Lots of catching up and relationship repairs ensue, but the film is really an off-center, eccentric comedy in which quaint villagers debate the origins of guitar feedback and 75-year-old veteran actor Joss Ackland (Surviving Picasso) can be found performing Roy Orbison rockers. A pleasant surprise is golden-throated Church's acting debut; revered for years as a singing prodigy, she proves to be a natural actress and outstanding pop-song stylist. --Tom Keogh

    Totally cute and funny. A "just for fun" film. : )

    Not too bad, it lacks gusto. Some good musical numbers. A little better than average. Not very memorable. Fine performances.

    A washed-up 80s Scottish pop rocker star named Paul Kerr (Craig Ferguson) discovered he has a teenage Daughter named Olivia Edmonds (Charlotte Church). They get to know each other to become a family with Olivia's mom named Rebecca Edmonds (Jemma Redgrave).

    I enjoyed watching Craig Ferguson as an actor in this moving comedy drama. "I'll be there" is in reference to the Four Tops' song, Reach Out I'll Be There.

    Despite my professed love for Craig Ferguson, I must say that this movie sucked. I just could not get into it. Charlotte Church is a great singer, but she can't act. :(
