David Frankel does a good job of directing this biopic. He treats intelligently the relationship between Paul and Julz, and also between Paul and Alessandra; and he extracts superb performances from Corden, Roach and Julie Walters.
The script is a bit meandering, and the ending somewhat flat, but by then you have been on a rollercoaster of emotions. Sadly for Paul Potts, he suffered far too many accidents that were bad for him and that somehow adds too much to a simple story, and becomes a distraction.
The really great thing is that all these are believable characters. The scene where Walters happens upon Paul and Julz as they are beginning to date is truly memorable for its simplicity, but it is only one of a number of sequences that render this film so touching and worth watching.
