Not much plot...but this really didn't need any.

Rating: 8/10 (1 October 2007)

"A Hard Days Night" really is just supposed to be a day in the life of the Beatles. Of all the Beatles films, this one by far had the best dialog, and the most realistic plot. It's a chance to show off a few of their best songs at the time and make a fun and sometimes funny movie to go with it.
I'd like to write a plot synopsis, but there really is very little plot. Most of the subplots in the film involve not the Beatles, but Paul's kooky grandfather, who's out to make a buck whether through gambling or selling fake signed pictures. Like in their next film "Help" the Beatles all have an odd acting style. They sort of act like little kids, playing with toys in the bathtub and such. Surprisingly it comes off well, and makes them seem innocent and likable. Plus, the songs are enough to get anyone hooked.
This is by far the Beatles best film, and it was a real joy to watch. My rating: *** 1/2 out of ****. 85 mins. Rated G.
