Silly at times, but the music more than makes up for this.
Ostensibly "a day in the life of the Beatles" A Hard Day's Night is fairly entertaining. Snappy one-liners, some of which are legendary, and general hijinks, plus a Beatles concert.
The plot, what there is, is fairly basic and sometimes tries too hard to be witty or cool and just comes across as silly. This said, the silliness fits in well with the general vibe of the movie and is never excessive.
Moreover, the music is great, as you would expect - this is the Beatles, remember!
