Absolutely phenomenal beyond description

Rating: 10/10 (12 February 2008)

Although I must preface this by saying that I think that people who are ignorant to the music of the Beatles might not get as much out of it, this movie is pure genius!!! By weaving a selection of songs into a script instead of writing a script and then writing songs I think this movie comes across as more than a "musical". It transcends all theater and film before it in the raw emotion it delivers. And not only that, but the virtually unknown actors and actresses within strike out to the heart of anyone who has just gone somewhere for the hell of it and made the best friends they'd ever know. They're singing brought new life to these songs even for me and I was raised listening to the Beatles.. this movie brought this music back into my heart and mind again and reminded me that young people have always had the prose and poetry pouring out of their hearts, but not all of them had the audience that the four boys from Liverpool had. 3 CHEERS!!!!
