Fun Stuff

Goofs:
Factual errors: In the scenes where Celine wins the Eurovision Song Contest, she is performing her winning song in English to the audience in Dublin. However in real life she performed the song in French, as back then all participants in the Eurovision could only sing in an official language from the country they were representing. Therefore, as English is not an official language of Switzerland, she would not have been allowed perform in that language. Indeed, her winning song was never actually recorded in English. more

A film that must be avoided -- AT ALL TIMES. This is not a joke., 7 September 2008

Author: dorfus_chickenlips from Cyprus

Dreadful, horrible, embarrassing to watch, bad (not even funny bad), chronologically incorrect, the actors' performances are much worse than terrible (the film reminded me of a Mexican-dubbed soap opera), there's no mention of important events in both her life and career (the death of her niece Karine, who died in Celine's arms; her father's death; winning Academy Awards in 1992 and 1998, and so on). Elaborating on these points would be, in fact, pointless. Additionally, I'm ashamed to actually say that I watched such an awful film. The ONLY good thing about this film, is that Christine Ghawi does, to some extent, look like Celine Dion. Personally, I cannot see the reason of this film's being. And that's saying a lot, taking into account that I'm a Celine Dion fan.
