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

Rating: - Funny and heartwarming British comedy you might overlook, but shouldn't
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.

He gets that help and then ... Read More
Rating:  - A comedy about music- and family
This is a film that we watch about twice a year. Craig Ferguson was outstanding but so was almost everyone else in this very well acted comedy about family and music. And this is a real comedy where you will find real laughs (many comedies seem to be placed in that category simply because they fit no where else). Charlotte Church was far better as an actress than anyone could have expected. And her music was stunning. Her rendition of Gershwin's "Summertime" was both beautiful and perfectly placed as ...

Rating: - A Positive Film About A Rock Star..A Total Suprise
What a sheer delight touched with a bit of sadness as see the wonderful girl Charlotte Church 'used to be'....
I have always been a Josh Ackland since I saw 'Shadowlands' where his portrayal of C.S.Lewis is far superior to that of Anthony Hopkin's..To see him 'rocking out' and being so lovable dispite his many shortcomings is a wonderful treat...
The humor is delightfully subtle and all of the characters are so very human...No one is perfect yet all of them (with one exception) are loveable...The ... Read More
