Wonderful musical, one of the greats!

Rating: 10/10 (28 August 2014)

I first saw Across the Universe just as the DVD was released, I didn't make it to the theater. I'm a bit late for this review, but I feel this movie is a classic. There is so much to love, and so much detail in this movie that I've seen it dozens of times. My 16 year old daughter loves it too, such a great story mixed with wonderful remakes of Beatles tunes. I'm a bit surprised it wasn't a blockbuster hit, as I think most of the movie is pure genius, with an unforgettable talented young cast! There are also several notable cameos in the film, I'd also love to see a stage version of the movie, maybe Julie Taymor will work on this in the future... I re-watched the movie tonight and it has lost none of the luster that endeared me the first time.
