I'll Be There

Amazon.com

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 sensation 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

This movie will become a Family classic favorite and the Music is superb. Great music, script, acting, photography and directing. All without the Hollywood scat treatment. A fun and uplifting movie that all ages can enjoy.

If you wish to see Charlotte Church be an angel... and sing the music that she has become famous for... forget that. She plays a daughter with a golden voice hidden from her mother. She sings a classical piece as well as George Gershwin's Summertime aria in a manner to rival Ella Fitzgerald. That is great praise for a Welsh lady, singing a Southern American classic.

All of the the actors were awesome in their British quirkiness. The ensemble of actors brought this script to life and obviously all had great fun doing it. For most of them I do not think they were acting. They were themselves, dressed up to play and work with friends. It is they that lift this movie from the ranks of good family entertainment to superb family entertainment.

I have purchased more than one copy of this DVD movie. Many as gifts to family and friends who had never heard of it in American Theatres.

Five Stars for good entertainment.

This movie is a clunker.......2006-11-16

Wasted talent. None of the characters are believable in the roles they are portraying. Some funny stuff. Craig Ferguson can do better. Charlotte Church should stick to singing as acting is not her forte. Every thing in this movie seems forced and there is no chemistry between the characters.

This is a Wonderful Movie - Funny and touching.......2006-04-22

This is the best of the Craig Ferguson's films, Saving Grace is a close second, and The Big Tease, is a third favorite. He is a middle age rock star on the edge of losing complete control, his "saving grace" that pulls him back from the edge is to find out his has an unknown child, a teenage daughter. The whole movie is funny and touches us in lots of ways. A great movie and worth your money.
