The film One Chance is a biographical drama directed by David Frankel and written by Justin Zackham. It tells the story of Paul Potts, a Welsh-born man who worked as a mobile phone salesman before becoming an overnight sensation on the TV show Britain's Got Talent in 2007.
The film follows Paul's struggles with bullies in his youth, his passion for music, and his difficulties in pursuing a career in opera due to a lack of support from his family and financial difficulties. Despite these challenges, Paul continues to pursue his dream of becoming an opera singer and trains tirelessly, often performing at local events and parties.
However, it is not until Paul's audition for Britain's Got Talent that his life changes dramatically. Despite initial skepticism from the judges, Paul's moving performance of "Nessun Dorma" from the opera Turandot captivates the audience and propels him to fame. The film depicts Paul's journey of self-discovery as he navigates newfound success, copes with newfound criticism, and ultimately finds love and happiness with his wife, Juliette.
One Chance features an outstanding performance by James Corden, who portrays Paul with charm, humor, and vulnerability. The film is both a celebration of Paul Potts' remarkable talent and an inspiring story of perseverance and self-belief.
