An entertaining musical but not flawless

Rating: 8/10 (10 April 2011)

I heard of this movie from a friend who like me is a huge beatles fan. He recommended it so I looked up the commercial. It looked like it would be an interesting portrayal of the beatles music so i rented it and carried my hopes high. The movie began strong with impressive performances from the cast. The film was very character driven as it chronicles through the war and it's impacts on the people around. It was a very entertaining movie with great performances. Now to the flaws. The flaws with the film was the fact that it left many plot holes and different things unanswered. My main problem with the film was the continuous random characters popping into the story and not even staying in but for about a minute or two. Though it has flaws I recommend it to anyone who wants a good musical.
