I didn't have a lot of feeling for 60's music until I saw this movie!

Rating: Null/10 (27 May 1999)

It was 5.30 Pm ,Wednesday I was wondering if anything was on the movie channels, so I began watching whatever was on Sky Premier. I have always been into pop music ,but as I was born in the 80's I am grateful to this movie for giving me an insight into the scene of the 60's. The movie, which was wonderfully entertaining and had a few good comic moments at times rolled like a documentary into the scene of the record business, and the lifestyle it provided for its brief stars. The mass hysteria was not so much from the screaming girls but the executives who thought they could send a band down the road of the Beatles ,on just one very catchy tune. Tom Hanks was excellent as the cynical Mr White, into whom he seemed to have put a lot of sincerity. The movie was instantly feelgood and it emanated a lot of energy, with the concert footage and the mass-hysteria of the fans , and the mass-hysteria of the band when they realised they were gonna hit stardom. If you're a fan of 60's music or if you hate it, you should see this movie!
