DVD Reviews of Celine

DVD Review: About the content of this DVD
Summary: 4 Stars

This DVD is a drama about the life of Celine Dion,based on her real life. The facts are realy certains. All public can view this drama both children and adults. Oh, the actrees it's not Celine Dion, but is a very good actress. It begins from her childhood to the Titanic theme.

DVD Review: Not up to standards
Summary: 2 Stars

Was a little disappointed that the video kept freezing up and skipping about a fourth of the way into the video! Other than that, it was a great video.

DVD Review: One of best movies I have seen...
Summary: 5 Stars

I really enjoyed watching this movie 4 times now; it is very touchy! I wasn't a big fan of Celine before, now I've discovered what a marvelous singer she is. By the way, I also enjoyed to know about the way she first got involved with her agent/husband; its a beautiful love story!

DVD Review: The story is soooo messed up
Summary: 1 Stars

Alright! first of all this is not a MUST for any Celine Dion fan. You will find so many glitches in the story that you won't believe. I just don't recommended. The story line is not good... The actors are good but is not close to Celine... It's just a weird movie.

DVD Review: Charming Celine Dion & Rene Angelil Love Story!
Summary: 4 Stars

If there were any errors in the movie, I didn't notice them -- I was engrossed in the chemistry between the two important leads -- the actor who plays Rene Angelil and the actress who played adult Celine. They did a great job at portraying a beautiful, passionate love story. Many doubted the sincerity of Celine & Rene's relationship, and they have persevered because of the strength of their love for each other.

This movie begins with Celine Dion's childhood, the start of her singing in her family's pub ... and Michel Dion creating a demo and sending it to the then-manager of Genette Reno, Rene Angelil. Rene listens to the demo and hears young Celine, then has her brought to his office. After hearing her sing, he agrees to represent her ... gambling on this young singer, and taking out a second mortgage on his house. Celine was not a classically beautiful child (hey, Rene saw her in an awkward preteen phase!), with awkward teeth that forced the taunting nickname of "Canine Dion." Young Celine flourishes as Rene mentors her into stardom.

Flash forward eight years. Celine is 20 and a young woman. Rene is divorced. After Celine Dion wins 1988 Euro Vision, a kiss changes everything forever ....

The exact timeline of the songs didn't interest me, but the placement of various Celine Dion songs in the movie was very poignant.

The epilogue shows Celine with her brand new hairstyle (short, blonde) performing "My Heart Will Go On" while her parents watch from backstage, standing beside Celine's husband Rene Angelil with baby Rene-Charles in his arms. A previous reviewer incorrectly said that Celine's father had already died before the "A New Day" tour, however it is said by both Celine and Rene on "Live in Las Vegas" - A New Day DVD that the show was going on already ... and Celine performed a show on the very day her father died, a hard show to do and very emotional. This movie wasn't supposed to be the "E True Hollywood Story" or a "Lifetime Intimate Portrait." Just a movie "inspired by her life" as it said at the end. And one that is very well done.

Description of Celine

Widescreen. PG 13. Celine has faced many challenges throughout her life and this is her story from rags to stardom. Celine was discovered at the age of 12 by manager and future husband Rene Angelil. She rose to international stardom after winning the Eurovision song contest and burst onto the U.S. stage by recording the award winning theme song for Disney's Beauty and the Beast. Over the years Celine and Rene secretly grew closer and their relationship turned into a romantic one. Despite fierce criticism and public backlash, Celine and Rene remained strong and focused on her career as she went on to sell over 200 million albums worldwide. Celine then went on to record 'My Heart Will Go On' from the blockbuster film Titanic.
