James Corden's in it, and that isn't even the worst thing about it

Rating: 2/10 (7 May 2020)

Positives first, this is a slickly done piece of work, but frankly, with Danny Boyle directing a Richard Curtis script, so it should be; it's the sort of material Curtis probably turns out in his sleep.
The trouble is the film pretends to be about a concept, namely, a world where the Beatles never existed but one man inexplicably remembers all their work, but is actually just another implausible rom com with some excellent, excellent songs on the soundtrack. Other than these songs, the only reason to see this is to see Ed Sheerhan defy critics who said his cameo in game of thrones was the worst performance on film since tommy Wiseau. Thanks to his role here, it's now only second worst.
