Although I seem to have had higher expectations than I thought, the movie is super entertaining.

The plot isn't so bad, but the pace of storytelling is too slow which makes people bored. Certain moments are so obvious and unnecessary for the main plot. I would've fast-forwarded those moments if it was an online streaming. The ending looks like implying a sequel, not sure if this movie will get one

There are moments in this movie where the great movie it could've been peek out... They're fleeting, here, but they're worth savoring, and they happen often enough to make it worth your while.

I really enjoyed this movie. I loved hearing Paul Potts sing on Britain's Got Talent, brought tears to my eyes. And this movie did the same. I actually sobbed in parts. And yes, the acting is superb, the story great, and you really feel like cheering for Paul (played by James Corden). GREAT MOVIE!!!

This is such an uplifting movie with so much heart and love. It may be somewhat of an old story of a young man who was bullied by other children when he was young, had an intense love of opera that was opposed by his father and nurtured by his mother, who falls in love and continues his efforts to become professional despite so many odds against him. It was so enriching to see his friends stick by him and his wife totally supporting his dream. His humility is beautiful and his winning the top prize in Britain's Got Talent brings one to joyous tears: Excellent script and good acting in this wonderful true story of a talented, good human being.

What a beautiful, beautiful movie, what an amazing story, and what an amazing man. I was hesitant to watch it at first, I read some reviews before I watched it, all positive, but even when I started watching, I didn't expect it to be this good! Boy, am I glad I decided to watch it, it honestly just made my day. I really loved it. It says "comedy" in the description, and I thought it would be more of a drama, but this man's life sure had funny moments. It's funny, heartwarming, and plain inspiring. There are some goosebumps-moments in there. The main actor did a splendid job, half way through the movie he started looking like the real Paul Potts, that's how good he is. The director did a fantastic job too. All-in-all, it's a fun watch, even if it's not your type of movies, you'd like it. It makes you think, how a simple everyday man's life, can have so much adventure, and so much to be said about it. It's a story about a dream, about following that dream, and about reaching that dream.So what's with the 6-star rating? VERY underrated.

Starting with the movie synopsis, he was NEVER an opera singer 'by night' throughout the entire movie, and only sang for an operatic company near the end of the film when even then he only sang in the beginning of Aida until he went unconscious due to his stupidity which he demonstrates throughout the movie. It is disrespectful to those of us who have struggled against the odds to become something we truly wanted to be by implying he did the same. The only reason he even entered the contest at the end was because his wife was at her wits end with his lack of motivation to sing, although the movie does make it clear that he was well motivated to eat. Ironically, it is implied that his obesity was the main reason he was harassed while growing up, and only those who feel pity for him because of this would see some kind of justification for his eventual success in spite of his gullet.
