7/10
A gem
14 September 2003
"Everybody's Famous" tells of a middle-age Belgian(?) father who wants see his overweight wannabe singer daughter become a celebrity/success and takes desperate measures to make that happen when he loses his job. The result is a warm hearted comedy romp which delivers more fun and sentimental bang for the buck than most films as it deftly builds to a dramatic crescendo and a feel good conclusion which just might leave you with a smile on your face and a tear in your eye. An Oscar nominated, critic befuddling, audience pleaser, "Everybody's Famous" should be a fun watch for anyone who doesn't mind a little corn with their subtitles. Turn brain off before watching and enjoy. (B)
