Awful Film

Rating: 2/10 (16 September 2007)

The makers of this film apparently had absolutely nothing to say, but chose to say it anyways. I had hoped the film would be good, and thought it promising from the development. But this was horrible. Most of the people in my theater were laughing at the film, not because of jokes. Musicals use the songs to advance the plot. In this film, the musical numbers described emotion at best. They rarely had anything to do with anything and were usually not even appropriate for the plot. For instance, "Come Together" has nothing to do with anything depicted in the guitar players arrival to shady NYC. It just has a shady sound to it. That is it. And the Bono and Eddie Izzard numbers? Complete detours from the plot that provide nothing for the rest of the film. It was a nothing of a movie put to Beatles music, which apparently is enough to make it artsy. Easily one of the worst I have seen, on par with "Freddy Got Fingered."
