One Chance (2013)

"Feel good" opera singer story

The partly true rags-to-riches story of opera singer Paul Potts who arrived on the scene via Britain's Got Talent.

Nicely made with a good cast, it's an entertaining film which also taught me a bit about opera.

On the negative side it's quite fictionalised, at least as far as I can work out from the Wikipedia article about Potts.

Incidentally I clicked on this at random on Netflix a few months ago, and stopped watching it a few minutes in, thinking it was the world's most absurd romantic comedy without realising it was meant to be a true story about an opera singer.
