One Chance (2013)
7/10
Warms the heart, but does little else

Warning: Spoilers
This film scores highly for me because it was a heartwarming, endearing tale about Paul Potts, arguably the finest product from Britain's Got Talent. I feel that because I know his story, I got little out of the film-watching experience because I already knew what was going to happen. Corden, while a good fit for Potts, neither made me laugh as I expected nor delivered the emotion that I so desperately wanted to raise goosebumps on my skin. The dubbing of Potts' voice over Corden added credibility to the film, as well as the adaptation of Britain's Got Talent footage to Corden, the judging panel and Ant and Dec.

A film I would watch again for the feel-good factor, but little to rave about unfortunately.
