Beatles Music Sung Again by Young Voices

Rating: 10/10 (19 January 2012)

I have always been a huge fan of the Beatles music, ever since I first heard them on English Pirate Radio while I was living in France as an Air Force Brat dependent. There was something so fresh and true to that sound. "I Want To Hold Your Hand" still brings a thrill to me.
I loved the artistry in which the all the musical productions of the Beatles tunes was carried off. The "I Want to Hold Your Hand" sequence especially caught that juvenile exuberance but in a sweeter more modest pace than the infectious but crammed to fit the radio cut length of the time.
They took some chances with some of the interpretations, but, nearly all were entertaining to watch, while the music was always superb.
The only caveat with this movie is it is almost 3 hours long. They choose to space out the tunes enough with story so as not be total onslaught of music. Set aside an afternoon or evening to savor this.
There are tons of little details in the background that are full of Beatles trivia. I usually don't buy movies to own, but this one is a keeper as it bears multiple viewings.
Watch for Joe Cocker and Selma Hayek in cameos.
Highly recommended. All you need is your own central nervous system to fully experience this beautiful trip.
