March Outing Postponed

Well, folks, I just can't see anything we're likely to like, and haven't already seen, arriving in cinemas by the first Tuesday in March. So I think we should once again postpone until something good does hit Toronto.

I'm considering seeing One Chance, the much-praised film about Paul Potts, the tenor who, after a lifetime of feeling like a nonentity, surprised everyone by winning Britain's Got Talent. I know one of our members absolutely refuses to see it, but I'd love to get opinions from others.

SYNOPSIS for One Chance:
From the director of The Devil Wears Prada, ONE CHANCE is the remarkable and inspirational true story of Paul Potts, a shy, bullied shop assistant by day and an amateur opera singer by night. Paul became an instant YouTube phenomenon after being chosen by Simon Cowell for "Britain's Got Talent." Wowing audiences worldwide with his phenomenal voice, Paul went on to win "Britain’s Got Talent" and the hearts of millions. Fresh from celebrating his Tony Award-winning Broadway run in "One Man, Two Guvnors," BAFTA winner James Corden (THE HISTORY BOYS) stars as Paul Potts and is supported by an acclaimed ensemble cast that includes Julie Walters (MAMMA MIA!, CALENDAR GIRLS, BILLY ELLIOT), Mackenzie Crook (THE PIRATES OF THE CARIBBEAN), Colm Meaney (GET HIM TO THE GREEK), Jemima Rooper (KINKY BOOTS), Valeria Billelo (PAZZE DI ME) and rising star Alexandra Roach (THE IRON LADY).
