Flawed, But Thoroughly Enjoyable; all Thanks to the Magic of The Beatles!

Rating: 7/10 (6 August 2013)

If you grew you up listening to and loving Beatles' songs, you're not to miss this movie musical. Though the movie lacks enough story or depth, the brilliantly choreographed renditions of the Beatles songs against well-shot landscapes and set-pieces are enough to mesmerize you; the songs itself have such power and meaning that when they're sung in relevance with the story have a terrific impact.
To be honest, its badly-structured minuscule plot is quite a distraction, but ultimately, you end up loving the movie just due to the power and essence of The Beatles.
Stephen Holden from the New York Times describes the movie aptly, "I realized that falling in love with a movie is like falling in love with another person. Imperfections, however glaring, become endearing quirks once you've tumbled." So, it ultimately depends on the person whether the flaws of the movie matter or not. If you don't let them bother you, you can sit back and sing along and get lost in the trance of 60's.
