Now imagine doing this but your crush’s favorite singer is Taylor Swift…
What it's about
In order to revive the fortunes of his Liverpool nightclub, club owner Micky O'Neill promises his patrons a performance by the legendary Irish tenor Josef Locke, who remained elusive due to tax evasion.
The take
There are some people that would do everything for love, they would do everything just to make their lovers happy. But finding their favorite singer of all time to convince them to perform at your nightclub isn’t something these hopeless romantics would, or even could, do, and that’s what makes Hear My Song such a unique romantic comedy. As club owner Micky O'Neill does all he can to make this happen, director Peter Chelsom and co-writer Adrian Dunbar takes reportedly real life events and weaves them into a charming memory of the tight-knit community formed within their hometown’s pub, and the earnest hope of making up with them through something real.
What stands out
You know a filmmaker loves their characters so much that they're full of flaws, but you root for them anyway. Also the score is just so fun to dance to.
