A "Broadway" movie!!!

Rating: 10/10 (10 February 2008)

I absolutely was blown away by this movie! It took me surprise, I never expected it to be so compelling. It grabbed me from the first song and deposited me in a heap with the last song! I can't wait to watch it again! The placement of the songs brought new meaning to each set of lyrics and my husband and I kept looking at each other in disbelief! I think I thought the movie would have the Beatles songs as "background", sung by the Beatles. WRONG! It was very much like a Broadway musical. My favorite songs were "If I fell In Love With You" and "Let It Be". They took my breath away! The storyline of the movie followed the 1960's & 70's timeline of the songs perfectly, integrating the lyrics into the plot in just the right places.
