Good fun, but don't expect it to be a normal film

Rating: 10/10 (11 October 2003)

There's no real plot-line in this film except that it's crazy stuff that happens when leading up to a TV appearance. But the film is really fun.
The Beatles are obviously not great actors (Ringo's reaction when the train passenger turns off his radio) but they weren't awful. They play themselves and not trying to be someone they're not. Even though it does seem that they are trying to be different characters (Lennon's insane, McCartney's sensible, Harrison's a bad ass and Ringo's sensitive.)
The Beatles are not the only ones who steal the show, Paul's grandfather also develops as a comic relief and he's.......very clean.
And of course, they perform songs and there's where some of the magic of this film comes from. They mime of course but don't let that distract you.
In summary, a very fun film to watch on a Sunday afternoon. It's more for Beatles fans but people of all ages can watch it.
