I didnt really realize from the trailers I had seen that its a musical ...but after my initial dismay at hearing a buncha Beatle songs in much less competent lungs.....I started to enjoy myself..../

Im quite glad I went to see it.

Saw this on dvd this weekend. First half hr was ok but it reached major suckage afterwards. On the bright side, Evan Rachel Wood is hot and has become a wife of xc.

maybe i need to make a thread of all my wives, ya think?

I wasn't sure about this one but, after reading your reviews, I think I'll give it a miss.

I can recommend Attonement, if you haven't seen that yet.

yeah i think Atonement comes out on dvd this week, i def wanna see it.

"mrs Evan Rachel Wood crazed would travel Across The Universe to be with mr xc"

I did eventually watch this, on a plane. There wasn't really anything else I wanted to check out.

I'm glad I did, as I now love this movie.

I started listening to Beatles albums when I was a teenager, and a couple of years ago Ares bought all the Beatles records for me on iTunes.

All the singers were great in this flick, and I loved how they also kind of referenced Janis Joplin and Jimi Hendrix.

Joe Cocker in particular was excellent, but the whole cast was great. Eddie Izard was a treat.

I think the story they told was interesting, and made good use of the tunes.

I loved that they switched the expected gender for I Wanna Hold Your Hand.
