A behind the scenes look at the fab four

Rating: 9/10 (30 December 2003)

I think this movie was trying to document a day in the life of The Beatles but Dick Lester decided that it had been done and got himself a plot. Involving Paul`s grandfather, a hilarious old mixer who goes about and causes trouble. Of course, you know that if it`s the Beatles, there`s going to be music (despite the fact that they`re only miming along to the soundtrack). My only problem was they re-used a few songs in the end sequence. Of course, they could only use songs from the soundtrack and it would be wrong to expect John and Paul to write that many songs for the one album. Overall,this film is a brillant masterpiece that I can`t wait to see again. (Also, if you can, buy a new version on VHS or DVD and watch the extra bonus documentary "Things We Said Today" for an insight to how it all came about)
