Clever and Cute

Rating: 9/10 (13 October 2019)

It's funny to read some of the reviews here for "Yesterday". You would think they were reviewing the new "Star Wars" movie. This is a cute musical romantic comedy. It's got The Beatles music in it. Great start! The theme of "what if" their music disappeared off the planet makes for a clever funny movie. Beatle's fans should love this along with those who love the old John Waters movies. Lily James plays the cute talent manager (Ellie Appleton) for solo musical artist Jack Malik played by Himesh Patel. Nice chemistry between the two. Kate McKinnon from SNL plays the hilarious diabolical record label rep trying to make Malik a star. Ed Sheeran appears as himself and is impressed with the amazing song writing ability of Jack Malik. Sheeran also lends a hand in trying to make him a star. If you like or love The Beatles and enjoy romantic comedies with a twisted plot you should enjoy this movie. There's nothing wrong with a happy ending!
