Movie Reviews of I'll Be There
Movie Review: Funny and heartwarming British comedy you might overlook, but shouldn't
Summary: 4 Stars
If you enjoy British Comedy and good music from both the rock and roll and current day eras, you might want to give "I'll be There" a watch.
The premise, 80's hairband rocker Paul Kerr (Ferguson) crashes his bike through a window of his Welsh mansion. He wakes up in the hospital with what the docs describe as 'superficial damage.' The thing is, the hospital he wakes up in is a psych ward. The docs think his drunken escapade is a cry for help.
He gets that help and then some. Rebecca (Gemma Redgrave), who was a 48-hour-stand back in the 80's, shows up to tell him they had a daughter. Digger (Ralph Brown), the drummer in the Love Rats his old band, shows up to help him sober up.
Once Paul straightens out his life, he makes an attempt to know his daughter Olivia (Church). No surprise she's a singer. Musical talent runs on both sides of the family. Her Grand-dad is 70 and still touring with his rock and roll band.
There's not a lot of teenage angst here. As a matter of fact, young Olivia seems to be the best grounded of the lot. She knows what she wants from her life and she's doing her best to get it without hurting anyone. I'm definitely impressed by Charlotte Church's acting in this role. Also, you get to hear several songs from her, including:
Reach Out/I'll Be there
Summertime (from Porgy and Bess)
In Hebrid Seas
Would I Know?
The film's going to give you more than one good laugh from the psych ward to the old rocker's backyard. "I'll be There" is one film you may have missed, because it appears to be somewhat low-budget, but if you enjoy humor or Church's singing, you may want to give this one a watch.
Rebecca Kyle, September 2008
Summary of I'll Be There
An off-beat comedy about a former 80s pop star (craig ferguson) whose downward spiral is halted when he discovers he has a teenage daughter (charlotte church) the product of a weekend love affair. Studio: Warner Home Video Release Date: 12/07/2004 Starring: Craig Ferguson Charlotte Church Run time: 105 minutes Rating: Pg13 Director: Craig FergusonThis 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
