Clement manages to start the choir and tried to help the kids by inspiring
them with music and turned the class of unruly children into a well behaved
chorus of beautiful singers. Incidently he paid more attention to one of the
most troublesome kids and he flirted with his beautiful single mother with an
eye to develop a romantic relationship with her. He wrote songs for them to sing
and did succeed in motivating the children. He brought them some dignity,
courage and self confidence.
Director Christophe Barratier adopted an old theme and made an emotionally
poignant film. Even though the story is predictable, it is very sentimental and
touching.
Gerard Jugnot as Clement Mathieu put up an excellent performance. He very
well portray the simplicity and gentleness of a lovable teacher. The kids have
beautiful voice and great talents. It is a greatly touching film with memorable
music that will stay with you for a while after seeing it. Definetly this film
will be a crowd pleaser.
We rate this movie GOOD.
