Adapted from the stage hit, this is a simple, funny-sad tale of the rise to brief fame of a painfully shy girl, nicknamed Little Voice (Jane Horrocks), who has an uncanny ability to imitate any singing voice she hears. When show business agent Ray (Michael Caine), who's dating LV's sluttish, widowed mother (Brenda Blethyn) hears her, he's determined to get the girl onto the stage... See this for three things: Horrocks's stunning ability to mimic the voices of such icons as Judy Garland and Shirley Bassey, Caine's rich, Golden Globe-winning performance as the sleazy show business agent and Jim Broadbent's seedy northern seaside nightclub owner. Not always believable but highly original.
