Make plans to be there when anyone pops this film into the DVD player
Olivia (Charlotte Church) is a sixteen year old with a heavenly voice. Her mother, Rebecca (Jemma Redgrave), however, will not allow her daughter to even imagine a career in music. That is because Olivia is the child of a weekend encounter Rebecca had with a rock star long ago. Voila. The rock star ends up in the hospital and soon after learns he has a lovely daughter. He never got Rebecca's letters of information, it seems. Can the aging rocker turn his life around and become a true father to his child? And, will Olivia be able to pursue a future that makes use of her stunning voice? This is a nice film in many ways. Church is great as the teenager and her voice is beyond compare. The other actors are also quite nice, the Wales setting is beautiful, and the movie's production values are more than adequate. Most important, the message of forgiveness resounds throughout the movie, a message that is needed by everyone. If you like music, romance, and humor, and who does not, get this very fine film at some point in the near future. It is a sweet movie that will make viewers everywhere feel on top of the world.
