The
Film: Inspirational story about a painfully shy young woman and
how the power of music leads her to an amazing transformation! A hopeless
introvert, "Little Voice," can only manage to express herself by singing
in the timeless voices of Judy Garland, Marilyn Monroe, and others.
But once her eccentric mother's new boyfriend -- a sleazy talent scout
overhears Little Voice's incredible crooning, he'll do anything to
drag the recluse into the spotlight and make her a star! LV meets
the equally shy Billy, a pigeon-racing telephone engineer and they
form a tentative, gentle friendship. |

My Comments:
I didn't like this film, the only highlight of watching was seeing
Ewan McGregor who was only seldom seen. The actors did wonderful
performances especially Michael Caine. But the film I thought was
a waste of all the stars time and talent.
I Rate This
Movie: 2 out of 10
