2 out of 3 ain't bad

Rating: 5/10 (4 December 2007)

Seeing the trailers and overall score of the film, and predisposed to supporting musicals I saw the film eager to enjoy an application of art that was fresh and did not rely on the "indie" label as its proof of originality.
The overall acting and visual impact were excellent but the drawback came from their devotion to only songs written by the Beatles. This heavily detracted from the Aural enjoyment which was the third leg. Why make a Beatles myopic when so much great music is available from that or any period? The storyline started very well, but towards the late middle the religious devotion to only Beatles songs led the story astray causing scenes that stopped enhancing the film.
I love Beatles music. Some of the songs were very appropriate TO THE MOVIE while others were just thrown in to fill time. WHY?
Why not always use the appropriate song for the movie? Seems a very simple idea that the filmmakers forgot.
