What a beautiful, beautiful movie, what an amazing story, and what an amazing man.

I was hesitant to watch it at first, I read some reviews before I watched it, all positive, but even when I started watching, I didn't expect it to be this good! Boy, am I glad I decided to watch it, it honestly just made my day. I really loved it. It says "comedy" in the description, and I thought it would be more of a drama, but this man's life sure had funny moments. It's funny, heartwarming, and plain inspiring. There are some goosebumps-moments in there. The main actor did a splendid job, half way through the movie he started looking like the real Paul Potts, that's how good he is. The director did a fantastic job too. All-in-all, it's a fun watch, even if it's not your type of movies, you'd like it. It makes you think, how a simple everyday man's life, can have so much adventure, and so much to be said about it.

It's a story about a dream, about following that dream, and about reaching that dream.

So what's with the 6-star rating? VERY underrated.

Paul Potts grows up in Port Talbot, Wales, ridiculed for singing opera. He turns out to have a terrific voice and this film tells his story from childhood through to winning Britain's Got Talent, encompassing his family, girlfriend/wife, assorted tribulations and, yes, his job working for Carphone Warehouse.

Despite my disliking some of his work (the witless profanity in Zombie Lesbian Killers comes to mind), I recognise James Corden as being a very talented bloke, and his portrayal of Potts as a likable, vulnerable, accident-prone chap, ordinary in every way except for his extraordinary voice, is very good. He has some excellent support, of course - Colm Meaney as Dad and Julie Walters as Mum are as classy as one would expect, and relative newcomer Alexandra Roach, as Paul's girlfriend/wife Julie-Ann, is a delight - her on-screen presence lights up much of the film.

The cinema was full of people of a Certain Age - this is an undemanding true(-ish) story with no bad language of any consequence - who clearly enjoyed the film greatly, and laughed a lot: it is often very funny.

My only criticism - and it isn't that major - is that it is quite clear physically that Corden isn't actually singing. Otherwise, this light and amiable film was very enjoyable and had a lot of something which is all too often missing from modern movies - heart.

I'm not sure how well it will travel internationally.

Review: I must be becoming soppy in my old age, because I really enjoyed this heartwarming tale about a guy who is down on his luck, but he has an amazing talent to sing opera and he follows his dreams by becoming a success. The characters were well chosen by the director and the storyline is written very well. You grow to like the main character and you feel for his amazing trail of bad luck throughout his life. The love story is really sweet, and his parents support was witty and emotional. To be honest, I wasn't expecting that much from this film, but I really enjoyed the mixture of emotions. Enjoyable!

Round-Up: It's amazing to see how far James Corden has come from his early years in Gavin & Stacey to winning many awards and now starring in a very well made movie. Everyone can't help but like the guy which is why we see him on the TV quite a lot nowadays. Julie Walters is getting better with age, along with Colm Meaney who seems to be popping up in loads of movies nowadays. Anyway, this movie is definitely worth a watch if you into witty, emotional dramas.

Budget: N/A Worldwide Gross: $7.5million

I recommend this movie to people who are into there witty biopics about an opera singers journey to fame. 6/10
