This movie was terrible

Rating: 1/10 (19 September 2007)

Saw a preview screening of this title. It was absolutely shocking that the Beatles would allow their music to be slaughtered in such a way. It was basically High School Musical with what should be a much better soundtrack. The acting, particularly from Evan Rachel Wood and Joe Anderson was terrible. The pacing was completely uneven. The singing was worse than an episode of American Idol. The dialogue was almost laughable. The direction was like watching a blind woman going in circles.
However what was the most surprising was that you almost regretted every time a song was used. It was so contrived that people were squirming uncomfortably in their seats. The characters were given strange actions so that the lyrics would fit logically in with the scene.
Not recommended for any Beatles fan or for anyone who likes good cinema.
