Painful!

Rating: 2/10 (5 March 2008)

I was so excited when I heard about this film. I'm a massive Beatles fan and thought it was going to be amazing! To be honest I found it almost unbearable, the tedious links to Beatles songs which were then played out in a full on Americanized way. The fact they put links to Liverpool in but couldn't quite bring themselves to set it there. He's called 'Jude' (can you see which song they're going to end up playing out for him?!), his mothers Martha (hmmmm), There's a Lucy, Sadie and Jojo. Its all a matter of time. Its cheesy, its tacky, but not in a good way. And other than the fact that they play the entire Beatles back catalogue, it doesn't have an awful lot to do with them. Couldn't quite face watching it to the end, it hurt. If you want Beatles watch Help or A Hard Days Night, even Backbeat or that Australian one where a group of fans get trapped under the stage!(Secrets??) Not this.
