An utterly formulaic but sweet movie that does what a crowd-pleaser is meant to do.

Director David Frankel has crafted a sweet, funny, heartfelt film, and while we may know all along how it all turns out, Paul's signature performance still gives us chills.

The movie is strongest is when it strips away the facts and focuses on the emotional notes.

Empire
A fluffy but fun telling of a rags to riches story.

The problem with the film is that Potts’s life story has been put through the Hollywood meatgrinder. Awkward details have been changed or erased – they’ve made Potts Welsh (he grew up in Bristol) and eliminated his siblings.
