Bring Back The 60's!

Rating: 8/10 (2 April 2009)

I went to see this movie last night and really enjoyed it. It is a "feel good" movie, but what's wrong with that in these times? The music is absolutely superb. It reminded me of old favourite records I'd forgotten, and even my 20-something daughter liked the tunes. The chap opposite me (another 50 something) was toe-tapping all the way through! It's easy to forget just how good late 60s music was, with today's wan superstars continually fighting to keep their face in the Media- who are happy to oblige them.
I judge a movie by how quiet the audience is at "crisis moments" and in the cinema last night you could hear a pin drop.
I predict critics may sink this movie with their whinging. Then the soundtrack will reach a wider public, including the kids, who will then go see the movie.
It's a slow burner, but it will take you back to happier times and make you feel younger and lighter of heart. If that's not enough for a movie to deliver, then I don't know what is. Go see it.
