As a small compensation for fans of Celine Dion, this feature film will allow them to see their idol on the big screen from May. The singer put her career on hold in October 2021 after severe muscle cramps prevented her from performing on stage. She has since been diagnosed with stiff person syndrome.
In the romantic comedy Love Again, a journalist (Sam Heughan) enlists the help of none other than Celine Dion to meet — and win over — a woman (Priyanka Chopra Jonas) whose phone number he only has.
