    Cheesey garbage with some of the worst covers of Beatles tunes you'll ever hear! Skip it and see "Help!" instead; you'll be much better off.

    i thought this movie was something off the norm and enjoyed watching it. the part with mr kite was really the only part i didn't care for, and wasn't needed in the movie.

    one star is generous. zero plot strung between 30 music videos. if you want beattles music, listen to a cd. awful. it is a rare movie that makes you angry, and this is one of them.

    The best movie I've seen in a long time. I can truly say I have never seen a more innovative, satisfying movie. The music, all Beatle tunes from early 60's to the 70's was unbelievable. I'll see it again.

    Based on reviews, I was sceptical when I first walked into the theatre and I'm incredibly glad that my worries were laid to rest pretty fast. From the opening scene with Jim Sturgess singing "Girl" in a quiet, haunting way I was riveted. The songs chosen were fantastic and there were even a few more obscure tracks thrown in, which was refreshing to see. The film IS fairly long and the plot jumps around a fair amount, but ultimately, the talented voices of the actors and the interesting nature of the subject matter kept me riveted. A great retrospective on Vietnam-era America and the clashing cultures that made it such a tumultuous time. Cameos from Eddie Izzard, Bono and Joe Cocker, too!

    An excellent musical based on the songs of the Beatles. All the cast are strong singers and a few cameos including Joe Cocker, Eddie Izzard, and Bono. Great fun!
