Wikipedia article
'I'll Be There' is a 2003 British-American comedy drama film directed and co-written by Craig Ferguson, who, in his directorial debut, also stars in the film with singer Charlotte Church in her film debut.
Plot
Olivia (Charlotte Church) is a young girl who is blessed with a beautiful, natural singing voice, although few people know that. She was conceived the night her mother met Paul, a Scottish rock star (Craig Ferguson), but the couple fell out of touch. Paul never knew that he had a daughter. Much later, Paul is "sectioned" after a motorcycle accident is viewed as a suicide attempt, and he meets his now 16-year-old daughter while confined to a psychiatric hospital.
Olivia's mother feels she was betrayed by Paul and failed by her own musician father, so she does not want her daughter to be involved in what she sees as the decadent world of rock music. In spite of her mother's attempts to keep them apart, Olivia and Paul get to know each other and they become the family they should have been all along.
