All You Need is Love

OK the first guy that reviewed this movie seems to be a little on the young side for a Beatles based film. I have to admit I did live through the sixties and survive. I do remember the Vietnam War, flower children, and the saying, "Make love not war." With that said I have to admit I really loved this movie.

If you haven't heard about it, it is a love story that revolves around Beatles songs. And yes, the characters are such because there are Beatles songs with their names in them. Jude is a young man that comes to the U.S. from England and along the way falls for a young lady named Lucy. If you know the Beatles, those names will sound familiar. Prudence also has a part in the film and needs to come out and play.

The film is based on the sixties when pot was smoked freely and the Vietnam War wasn't thought of very kindly. These images are brought out in the film along with some trippy looking scenes that would probably look better if you had smoked a joint yourself.

The movie was a lot of fun to watch and to sing along with also if you remember the tunes. The movie is one that any Beatle fan would love. I wouldn't recommend this one as a family film. It will probably appeal to those that like musicals and are familiar with the Beatles music.
