Great singer November 3, 2008
I taught the celine film was a really lovely tv movie, the acting wasn't over done. The two singers used for celine's voice were excellent, especially the older celine. Trish O'Brien's voice was fantastic and the closest thing I've heard to the real thing. If you are a fan of Celine Dion you must know this is an unauthorized film about her life and not always true in places, but it is a lovely feel good movie with great singing. I loved it..

I LOVED THIS MOVIE October 7, 2008
I believe that this movie is absolutely incredible. If it's not totally accurate, as some reviews have stated, that is too bad, because I believe there are a whole lot of people missing out on a terrific story.
All kinds of emotions, truly manifest, as this story enfolds.
A beautiful Love Story.............

Movie Facts vs. Actors September 17, 2008
I loved the two actress who played Celine Dion - Jodelle Ferland (young Celine) and Christine Ghawi (the older Celine). Both actresses captured the essence and spirit of Celine Dion. It is not their fault that the director and script writer did bad jobs pertaining to facts about Celine Dion and Rene Angelil's life. Christine Ghawi is an excellent actress and her role was very believable. I fault the director and writer for the movie's content. It is obvious to any Celine Dion fan that the writer did not do any research about Celine's life. If the writer had taken the time to read Celine's authorized biography the movie might have been more successful.

Celine Dion fans who watch this movie will become angry as soon as the moive's time lines become distorted. I am uncertain why the director did negated the actual time line and facts. I can only rationalize, that because Celine and Rene did not authorize the movie, the director took certain artistic liberties.

PS: To all Celine Dion fans - Christine Ghawi did not sing in this movie, the singing was done by someone else, I forgot the singer's name but Christine only voice sync.

Wretched August 28, 2008
This is just awful! This was a horrible movie full of inaccuracies, strange additions, nonsequential ocurrences, made up songs. There was nothing about this movie that was right. The actress was not great, the music was not Celine's. Just watching all of this transpire in English made it difficult to watch but everything was just so wrong. If you are a Celine fan and if you know ANYTHING about her please I beg you not to watch this movie. It was down right dreadful and a waste.

Do not buy if you want the truth. Completely inaccurate August 8, 2008
Okay, I'm 15 and was raised for most of my life as a Celine fan. I've met Celine 5 times, Rene 3 times, her brother Michel once, and I've talked to Rene's son Patrick on the phone before. I've been to her show 13 times and know pretty much everything there is to know about this woman from the book she wrote herself and from her other bio-book, For Keeps. Everything in this movie was either false or done wrong. Celine didn't put nickels in her shoe until she was in her late teens and performed a concert in Japan. "If You Asked Me To" came out AFTER "Where Does My Heart Beat Now" and they didn't even get the hairstyles right. They just made it "easy" and gave her long brown hair most of the time. She went through many years with short hair and the outfits and Rene's marriage proposal wasn't even right! They were EATING dinner and it was before Titanic, for gosh sake. And her hair and dress and the stage isn't even right for "A New Day." Plus, her father wouldn't have been backstage because, Lord rest his soul, he already passed away by then! COMPLETELY WRONG. It would've been worth it to wait a couple years until she actually authorized a movie and then had them do it RIGHT.
