This is a bad movie, but it would have been a great deal worse were it not for Pavarotti's almost childlike charm.

Those who appreciate sentiment, gorgeous photography and full-throated singing will have a treat.

There's no imagination in the story or script to even justify the musical interventions of the tenor. [Full Review in Spanish]

The film's saving grace is having the late Pavarotti sing.
