Very funny

Rating: Null/10 (20 July 2001)

I missed the sixties, but my mom was a devoted hippie, and she educated us early. I saw this around second grade, along with Help! (the other Beatles movie) and I liked Help! much better. (This isn't great for young kids, I remember I didn't get it at all. I kept saying, "Why don't they just sing the songs now?") But then I saw the two again recently, and it seems like A Hard Day's Night is the better film. While some of the scripted moments don't exactly work, the Beatles weren't actors, after all, the dialogue is pretty good example of Beatle humor. The best scene, I think, is where they all run frantically around a field for a few minutes. This movie is a trip for those who experienced the sixties, and still very funny if you missed them!
