OK idea saved by the music

Rating: 5/10 (21 August 2019)

I was really looking forward to this movie given its unique premise but was disappointed with the weak storyline, over the top acting and lack of laughs.
The continued vanishing of additional pop culture "names" were pointless and didn't generate laughs or add to the plot.
In fact the plot meanders with our hero caught between his moral dilemma, childhood love interest and a yearning for success. Similarly the plot meanders between a soppy and superficial love story, a musical and a very poor attempt at comedy.
Fortunately, the film is saved, in part, by the forgotten heroes, The Beatles. Their music joyously punctuates this otherwise soporific offering.
Watch it if you're a fan of The Beatles but don't expect a good movie.
