No movie is perfect, but....

Rating: 10/10 (12 August 2005)

this one comes awfully close. It's the perfect movie for a group of musicians that can't act, yet pull it off like professionals! Everyone does a terrific job!!! One can't help but feel that they are all having a great time doing this, because they really are!!! Enough has been said about this movie that I need not go into the fact that The Beatles were compared to the Marx brothers for their wit and comic delivery. There are few movies that I have watched several times because I liked them so much, and none that I have watched more than this one. In the summer of '65 right before the movie 'Help' came to theaters, they ran HDN on TV, almost as a promotion for the show. My sisters and their girlfriends, who were all at least 7 years older than me and on their way to college, sat in our living room and watched the movie together. They were like mesmerized by the Beatles, and being only about 9 years old at the time, it was hard for me to understand what was really happening. But I sat there with them and had a really good time watching their antics, and listening to the girls comments about each Beatle being 'Gorgeous", whose favorite was whose, and beginning to understand that this was truly something special, something that I had never experienced before. Watch this movie, forget that they are The Beatles, turn off the songs, and you will see that it still holds up. That's how good it really is!
