Daniel G I should have guessed that the title comes from the lyrics of a Beatles song, for it totally makes sense in this perfect little movie about a road trip in Spain in the 1960s. Just everything was in place - just enough was presented for one to understand these people and to make the solidarity of some and the prejudice of others so believable. Rated 5/5 Stars •  Rated 5 out of 5 stars 02/20/23 Full Review isla s This is quite a quirky film with some fairly amusing moments. The characters are all quite likeable in their own way, particularly the main character, who seems more than a little bird brained it could be said but yet I found myself wishing the best for him. I could relate, a little, to what he says about the importance certain music, or lyrics, can have on a person. The main plot is a bit daft but I enjoyed watching it never the less. Oh and I also liked the old(ish) cars present, which are also kind of quirky in their own way too. There is some English present but its mainly a Spanish film, for the most part. I'd recommend it to fans of Spanish film and quriky films with a little bit of comedy present.

It ended up being less about John Lennon than his acolyte, the affable teacher, Antonio, who cares so much about his students and the potential of Beatles lyrics as a tool to teach them English. My favorite scene was where Antonio, on a whim, races through the bully's garden, trashing all his carefully tied plant supports and tomatoes, before racing off back home to get back to his life. That was just a small part of the plot. Still, it was very gratifying, somehow, to see the jerk get his come-uppance even if the boy he bullied never knew it happened. Another interesting scene happened earlier in the film where Antonio, outraged that his new friend preferred the Stones to the Beatles, kicks him out of the car before quickly repenting of his misdeed and almost immediately inviting him back in. I think good guys are more interesting than bad guys. Maybe that's why I enjoyed Ted Lasso. In a world where psychopaths like Vladimir Putin are able to wreak so much havoc and destruction on complete strangers, it's nice to occasionally celebrate the people who make the world a better place. Antonio is definitely one of these.
