Odelecol Pretty good movie overall. First half was nothing special but it got better as it went along.

Livestonth I am only giving this movie a 1 for the great cast, though I can't imagine what any of them were thinking. This movie was horrible

Quiet Muffin This movie tries so hard to be funny, yet it falls flat every time. Just another example of recycled ideas repackaged with women in an attempt to appeal to a certain audience.

Logan By the time the dramatic fireworks start popping off, each one feels earned.

A documentary interviewing and covering Ms Boyle, career,history, career, and her personalty.*Special Stars- Susan Boyle, Simon Cowell.*Theme- Taking a chance with your dreams is rewarded.*Trivia/location/goofs- British. TV movie. documentary. Scotland, London, Peking.*Emotion- A charming pleasant documentary covering a humble, warm, and very talented singer from Scotland. While some of the documentary interviewer's questions were combative and intrusive sometimes in this film, I wanted to know more about this wonderful singer and her rise to mega-stardom.

TxMike Who watches TV and can ever forget that magical moment when Susan Boyle began singing on the British talent show? As she walked on stage, rather frumpy, unattractive, and middle-aged, you could see the giggles and side remarks the judges were making. Then she began to sing. Wonderfully. Beautifully. Flawlessly.As we go through life what we tend to remember most are the surprises, the things that become the spice of our lives. Susan Boyle is one of those spices. This short documentary film examines Susan the person and how her life has changed by becoming a famous singer, something she wanted all her life but had no real idea it would ever come.We see that Susan was no flash in the pan, not a 'closet singer' who no one knew about. For years she had been singing wonderfully and all her friends and community knew it. But we also see that Susan fears the day it all goes away, and still lives a frugal lifestyle, in the house she grew up in, and shopping for sales. It is as if she doesn't want to tap into any of the wealth she has earned.A very revealing clip is when she is meeting with Simon Cowell to discuss an upcoming CD release, and the songs on it. Cowell is of course very experienced in music production and makes a comment to Susan, "You're the boss here, I work for you." Susan quickly replied, "No, I work for you." Not only did she not grasp the concept, it is as if she could not bear the burden of thinking herself as 'the boss' in an industry she had admired from afar for so long.The film poses the question, is Susan Boyle lonely in spite of her fame. Early it seems that she is, but near the end we see an 'event' held in New York, where her fans from all over the USA gather to meet her. They give her hugs, they tell her their stories and how she inspired them. With that kind of world-wide friendship how can Susan be lonely? And she realizes it.Good film.

Jackson Booth-Millard Two years since her first appearance on Britain's Got Talent, in which she came second to Diversity, the unlikely singing star has become something Britain can be proud to boast and an international icon. Susan Boyle entered the talent show looking like something that wouldn't really get anywhere, but then she shocked everyone all over the world, achieving extraordinary press for her video on YouTube, and even though she didn't win the competition she instantly got signed to a record label, with the help of Simon Cowell, and the rest writes itself, platinum single with "I Dreamed A Dream" and three UK number one albums. Anyway, this documentary gives us an insight into what her life is like two years on, including still living in her parent's old house, making guest appearances, visiting Cowell, recording tracks, and much more, it was interesting. Good!
