Studio: Warner Home Video Release Date: 12/07/2004 Starring: Craig Ferguson Charlotte Church Run time: 105 minutes Rating: Pg13 Director: Craig Ferguson 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 Average Rating:
 Rating:  - Ferguson fans in for a treatA film that's a lot of fun. If you're an admirer of Craig Ferguson, this will probably be one of your favorites. The story is good enough, the singing is fun and fine, Ferguson is a hoot and the ensemble cast brings it together well. Church's singing is beautiful. Not "the greates film ever made" but enjoyable and for Ferguson addicts, a real treat. Rating: - Funny and heartwarming British comedy you might overlook, but shouldn'tIf 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 ...

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 ...

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 ...
