Critic Reviews

  • 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.

  • Kevin N. Laforest, Montreal Film Journal

    Little more than What a Banger Sister's Girl Wants Over the Still Crazy Cuckoo's Nest.

  • 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.

  • Neil Smith, BBC

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

    Ordinary but enjoyable comedy-drama with added attraction of Charlotte Church's beautiful rendition of Summertime near the film's end.

  • Leigh R


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