Best Rock Movie

Rating: 10/10 (20 January 2003)

To not enjoy A Hard Day's Night, is like not enjoying breathing. This movie is pure fun. It rids itself of worries of proper editing and everything making sense, the film itself is as free spirited and fun as the Beatles themselves. The performances are cute and cuddly, definitly better then any of Elvis' work. The movie is very historical and you can still feel its influences in main stream movies today. The music is great to sing-a-long to even though its bad when your dad walks in and decides he's going to sing-a-long as well. It's whacky hijinx and screen chaos all over. Lennon and McCartney are naturals, and Harrison and Starr prove themselves to be equally intersting as the band's then frontmen. If you like the Beatles, you'll like A Hard Day's Night, and if you hate the Beatles - which is a crime punishable by death some places - then you may still find some fun out of this one.
