Positive, enjoyable

Rating: Null/10 (7 December 2003)

By no means a Marx Brothers-type film. People know too much about the band, etc for it to be fresh: however it is really fun and considerably less trashy than most pop exploitation films. Myth-making without being mischievous. The cast are charming and the songs are great. There is a sense of unforced fun and there is no "message". Worth it for the "Can't Buy Me Love" sequence. Remember that it is just a film made in 1964 and go with the ride.
