      Pat Padua Spectrum Culture Have you ever tried to do a Paul McCartney impersonation? It's probably better than the feature-length attempt in this embarrassing fan fiction. Jan 21, 2021 Full Review Read all reviews

      Funny Not F I loved this movie. I know most people don't like when actors don't look like the people they played, but I tend to not care. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 12/09/23 Full Review Audience Member This movie is the greatest interpretation of The Beatles ever, Micheal made up for his mistakes on Let It Be! First of all, John Lennon isn't some god, which is always nice, and Paul is good, but still bitchy! They are The Beatles! Perfect!!! Anyone who says otherwise clearly does not know the beatles! Rated 5 out of 5 stars 02/26/23 Full Review steve d It amounts to nothing. Rated 1 out of 5 stars 03/30/23 Full Review Audience Member A fab four fantasy of fan service that make's clear from the jump that it makes no claim to reality (or to the Beatles' catalog, so as to avoid legal claims), this made-for-tv melodramedy works more as a therapeutic role playing exercise to work through lingering tensions between diehard Paul-people and hardcore John-stans than as any sort of character study of either figure. Though the performances are passably impressionistic if not quite full-blown impressions, the screenplay is a bit simple, relying on nods to legends and winks to the audience while making Lennon come across as more than a little nuts and giving McCartney a little too slack for his role in the band's breakup, with blame unfairly laid once again (especially in the final scene here) at Yoko. Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 01/30/23 Full Review Audience Member One of the best depictions of their relationship! Absolutely loved it! Rated 5 out of 5 stars 06/11/18 Full Review Audience Member In the 1970s, while they were bitter about their split from the Beatles and attacking one another through songs and newspapers, John and Paul did have moments where they reunited as friends. This is sort of a "what if" but it is actually rather good. We know that Paul did visit John in New York a couple of times (we also know that at some point John sort of told him to stop), and we know that apparently they were together and actually watching when Lorne Michaels offered them $3000 to reunite on SNL...but most of this is fiction. But it doesn't feel as horrible and phony as so many fictional accounts of the Beatles. The actors don't really get the voices right...but they do seem something of John and Paul. I enjoyed this and sat through the whole thing, which even as a huge Beatles fan is hard for me to do with many of these things.
