Nice And Entertaining! by Wilx218x (Dallas, Tx USA)  5 Stars
November 21, 2009
First of all I'm not going to break this movie down to what it means, it's plot, it's historical value, or whatever. The thing is that it is a fun movie to watch. I truly liked the visuals, and the music scenes. I thought it was great on how the started doing "With a Little Help From my Friends" Beatles style, and finished it like the Joe Cocker version. Very clever. Musical scenes of "Let it Be", and "Strawberry Fields" were moving. While the scenes of "Why don't We Do it in The Road", and "Helter Skelter" just rocked! The absolute best song of this movie is "A Day in The Life" by Jeff Beck(studio version). You only hear a bit of it. I first hear the whole song on [...]. Now for those of you who hated this movie, or got offended by it like some reviewers did, first of all LIGHTENED UP a bit. I think it's awesome listening to Beatles tunes from a different perspective. It's just entertaining folks, don't take it so seriously!

Terrible by Daisy Black (Tampa, FL)  1 Stars
October 31, 2009
Terrible. This movie was TERRIBLE. If it was just a musical about the sixties, that would be one thing. But as someone who holds the music of The Beatles so dearly, I was appalled. Pretty much sums it up.

I LOVED it!!! by lizykat (Portland, OR) 5 Stars
October 11, 2009
Just scanning a few of the reviews...they all said it very well. Bottom line, I am ready to buy the movie and also for good measure the soundtrack so I have options. It was creative, fun, and just when it got to be a bit much..they broke into a fab song..what more could you ask??

Awesome Movie by Crystal Velasquez (Georgia, US) 5 Stars
October 05, 2009
This movie is awesome, from the actors to the song choices and everything in between. I love the Beatles and most all of their songs and felt that using the songs to guide a story along just made sense. Although these songs can't replace the originals, some of them are almost just as good. Plus, adding blu-ray to this movie only adds to the quality.
