I saw it in London too a while ago. Must have been about... 3-4 years ago? Anyhow, I saw the movie and it was pretty good. If you are comparing it to the musical, you'll be slightly disappointed, but if you think of it as a musical-movie, I think it does really well :) I wasn't too fond of either of the three guys' voices, but I have a feeling that's not why they were cast.

Eh, I don't know. From what I heard and saw, it was just a music video of the Beatles discography. I mean I love the Beatles too but I think it could have been a little better if they had decided what they wanted: I movie with some Beatles music, or a music video of personifications of their music. Whatever the choice after a while either one would probably bore me.

My absolute least favorite genre. I'd sooner watch a Western.

Not even THE BLUES BROTHERS?
