Danish singing star Christopher takes centre stage here as an ordinary working trawlerman Elliot, who gets 'discovered' when supporting a mate at a birthday party gig and tries his luck with the music industry. Teamed up with an initially spiky young female producer, their relationship develops, he becomes an overnight internet hit, his old less-talented friend resurfaces... yes, it seems there are no real surprises in the narrative trajectory that unfolds here until two huge personal twists come into play right before the biggest break of his career so far. With Christopher proving to be a very pleasant and likeable performer both as actor and singer, picturesque settings and a gentle laid-back vibe, A Beautiful Life is hardly earth-shattering but it is a very easy and pleasant film to watch.
