George and John are Rolling in their Graves!

Rating: 1/10 (27 December 2007)

Good God.... I'm a teacher and some of my students ( knowing that I'm a huge Beatles fan ) told me I HAD TO SEE THIS MOVIE .... I resisted, until my parents ( who usually have decent taste in films ) said IT WAS ONE OF THE BEST MOVIES THAT THEY EVER SAW IN THEIR LIVES!!!!! "Visually, the most creative movie I have ever seen," said my dad. So I went ...
Ten minutes into the movie I knew I was a goner. As soon as I saw them singing and dancing like goofy Gene Kellys around the good ol college campus like Fame rejects, I began to groan. Loudly. "Where was the amazing creativity?" I asked myself. "Maybe it'll kick in later...."
It never did. ( You want amazing creativity? See "Yellow Submarine"). This movie, instead, was flat out horrendous. I cringed every time they blasphemed another Beatle song with Taymore's insipidly sophomoric MTV vision of the sixties. Strawberry Fields and Happiness is a Warm Gun were two segments, particularly, that made me wanna barf in my popcorn bag...
It was awful. Just awful. Some clapped at the end. I booed....
