My friends dragged me into this movie and I admit I've never been much of a Beatles fan though I find myself leaning towards becoming one in the near future because I didn't realize the songs were rather catchy.

The movie itself was an affair of you either loved it or hated it. It can come off as a pretentious art film or something of a work of art. To me it was an okay movie, the drug trips aside I didn't find it that bad but it probably will look pretty cool if you are high or something. It's one of those movies that also seems to beat you on the head with a message of some sort. (oh dear!) This of course was all lost on me during the weird possibly drug induced scenes.

Plus it seems, no, I'm pretty sure that the whole reason some characters were there so they can sing all those Beatles songs. I can't think of any other reason why the seemingly random lesbian was there unless that's how they rolled back then, which I'm inclined to believe because of all the possibly drug induced scenes. At least they got hobos singing and stuff. That's always fun. Random singing hobos.

All in all it's a pretty good fun film to laugh at but it's really not for me. Mebbe if trippy music video type stuff is your thing you might enjoy it. I often found myself laughing at loud at what seemed to be tense moments of the movie. But it's really hard not to laugh. Dehumanizing dance sequences are always the best. Especially when drugs are in the mix.

6/10

I hate dream or hallucination scenes! Thanks for the warning.
