Liked it despite misuse of premise

Rating: 8/10 (11 July 2019)

I went and saw "Yesterday" yesterday lol. When I first saw the preview way back when, I was really excited because the premise was something original. After seeing it, I realized that it doesn't use the premise nearly enough.
In it, Himesh Patel plays a struggling musician who has a manager/love interest in Lily James. One night he gets hit by a bus and somehow ends up in a world where no one has heard of the Beatles. Soon, he ends up singing the Fab Four's songs as if they were his own.
Earlier I mentioned it doesn't use the premise nearly enough. The reason is I feel like they set it up great and then it doesn't go into a lot of detail about the Beatles, it's just a guy singing the songs.
Despite my "complaint", I still enjoyed the movie and the performances. Particularly, the supporting ones by Kate McKinnon as the stereotypical bitchy manager and I loved Ed Sheeran playing himself. Definite recommendation.
