Movie #1732 ........................"Yesterday"
Movie #1732 "Yesterday" was a fun movie and one highly recommended. If you enjoy an underdog picture, this is it; if you enjoy listening to beatles songs one after another, this is it. If you want a good love story, this is it; if you are looking for some humor in your films, this is it; if you are looking for a movie that points out what life would be like without the Beatles, this is it! Danny Boyle, the director ("Slumdog Millionaire" and the great film "Millions") says he did the film because he thinks the Beatles are the "Crucible of everything that influenced the past century" -- music, clothes, styles etc. And what a great time to offer a film up re-introducing them to the next generations...... and the script is written by Richard Curtis ("love actually," "Nottinghill," "Pirate Radio," 4 Weddings and a Funeral," "Vicar of Dibley, " "As Time Goes By" ) the writer who has done many of the films I have enjoyed the past 20 years. So needless to say, this is a winner --- the leads are very well cast , including Ed Sheeran and Kate McKinnon, in big secondary roles! It's just a fun, feel good movie that I highly recommend -- 4.5 out of 5. (could have been even funnier, I thought, and the only reason it wasn't quite a 5 for me).
