I'll Be There (2003)
7/10
Would have worked better as straight drama
6 January 2007
A problem with I'll Be There is that there are too many clichés in it. The entire opening scene with Paul Kerr's drunken accident is made up of pure clichés, and really doesn't give you a very good first impression of the movie.

But it's not a bad movie. It seems to be made partly to fictionalize Charlotte Church's real life, for reading her IMDb biography page, there seems to be a lot of details in the movie that are taken from her real life.

The movie would have been much better served being a straight drama rather than a part-time comedy. The comedy aspects of it weren't effective, and almost embarrassingly unfunny. If the movie had ditched the comedy part and spent some time exploring the story in more depth, it could have been a lot better. And would have been a lot sweeter, too.
