A Disney villain of a main character

This is such a hard film to like.

The main character is simply awful and Danielle Macdonald isn't strong enough to pull it off (to be fair I am not sure who could)

Millie's boyfriend (Charlie) wishes her good luck on her promotion and she is like "yeah I will be earning more money than you LOL", which is a funny joke I often share with my partner. Then, as she is offered the promotion she blindsides everyone (including Charlie) by turning it down.

Over dinner she announces to him that she is leaving to go to Scotland for an unspecified amount of time to pursue her dream, which she has never mentioned before the previous night, to become a famous Opera singer.

When Charlie doesn't jump for joy at this revelation she pulls him over the table and orders him to toast her success or F off!

That is our introduction to Millie.

Charlie then spends the rest of the film bending over backwards to prove how sorry he is for not believing in her enough. She obviously can't stand the guy but won't break up with him. Perhaps he is paying the rent or maybe she just enjoys kicking puppies.

To be fair to Millie though she is right in her attitude, because it turns out she is awesome at everything! Everywhere she goes people love her and she is just fantastic!

The actual training period and the remote, hostile environment are irrelevant as Millie is so amazing you could drop her in Afghanistan and she would end up as Prime Minster.

I don't see how this can be sold as a comedy as I couldn't detect any attempt at humour.

The romance between Millie and Max is quite sweet.

The characters in Scotland are interesting but quite irrelevant.

The opera scenes are good if you are into that.

There seems to be a growing trend of making films around recklessly selfish and narcissistic people then labelling them as impowering - I just don't get it.

Bet you've never heard twinkle, twinkle little star like this before.

I've never been a big fan of opera as it's really long and never in english. This movie delivers the best of opera in sound bits we can handle...the pieces they perform are not only surprising but moving.

It also helps that it's just a good movie overall with good acting and a compelling storyline. Not only that it is the quintessential definition of a romantic comedy where the romance is uniquely played out in performance and the comedy comes naturally.

If you're looking for something relaxing and for sure entertaining, don't hesitate. Watched it again...too much fun!

Best opera film ever watched

With the funny storyline and good casts I feel it's my best like opera movie. Given the fact I'm not a big fans of this kind. Don't think this movie is something huge but the light kind but warming and sweet, it really makes me enjoy.
