Quite a Let Down

Rating: 4/10 (1 July 2019)

Sorry, but as a huge Beatles fan, this just didn't do it for me. I was a fan of Lily James, but not of Himesh Patel. He's not a bad actor, just, in my opinion, not the right one for this part. And no, this has nothing to do with him being part Indian. In fact, there is one Indian actor that would have been, in my opinion, great in it and that is Ayushmann Khurrana, who was terrific in "Andhadhun".
The love story between Patel and James seems forced as there was, again in my opinion, not much chemistry between these two. Also, there were many times when it seems a scene was supposed to be funny and it just fell flat. Too bad to as the character "Rocky" was very good. Too bad the scenes were not funny enough. But this isn't really a Rom-Com, it's more of a Rom-Drama. So don't think you will be laughing most of the time, because you will not be.
As you know, this is an alternate reality movie. The filmmakers did have one funny bit. The Beatles are not the only thing missing from this universe. The other items will NOT be revealed here, but it's pretty clever what else is missing.
All is all, not something I can recommend. I saw it for $5.00 at a local matinee time movie, so if you want the movie theater experience of seeing this movie, then go to the matinee time. Like many of you, I rate my movies based on whether I would watch them again. Honestly, except for the music, I would not watch this movie again. Just my opinion.
