    Overall story is Very very well thought out, and the pacing/editing is spot on. One can watch this many times over and still laugh at subtle things missed In prior viewings. Every scene is a gem. And the music is fantastic.

    Was pretty good. Good concept I think they missed a few opportunities and wish they went deeper into the concept. Good music even though I'm not a huge Beatles guy

    This movie is many things - a comedy, a tribute, a romance. The film lays out the most convincing argument I've heard in favor of the Beatles - one of the greatest bands ever; the best ensemble of singer songwriters in a century. But the true heart of the film, in my estimation, is the examination of desire, appreciation, and devotion. In a sort of reverse "Wonderful Life", Jack is transported into a magic land/alternate reality in which his memories allow him to emulate talent. What if each of us could be mistaken for coming up with things we really had just learned from someone else. At first we would all love the recognition we might feel we had never adequately been given. In the end though, what satisfaction lies in accepting praise for things we haven't done? And more important, if you are happy with everything in your life except fame or money, in what ways do you think those things are going to 'fix' you? This movie evokes emotion from me like few others. That is because I feel, in a lucky way, that I have what Jack is seeking. Ellie is a character I know in real life. it makes me so appreciative to witness her unmitigated joy at the success of her love. I know devotion like that. I feel it and I receive it and it is the heart of life, in my opinion.

    I have been a Beatles fan through and through, so it is easy for me to like this movie. I enjoyed the concept of what the world will be like when one thing is taken out or espeially one very impactful thing. The music is fantastic, and the concept is fun to watch! I enjoyed this movie.

    Patel did an outstanding job as the lead. It could have used less formulaic rom-com nonsense and a more controlled use of the Beatles' music.

    I love this movie! Himesh Patel's version of The Long and Winding Road is the best version of the song I've ever heard.

    First off, as a huge Beatles fan, I've seen every concert, documentary, interview, and snippet of Fab Four info as any human could. So to see a movie loosely based on the Beatles is appealing to me. But the plot? Imagine the world where the Beatles did not exist, I can't. Now put in the fact that it's only remembered by three people in a whole movie and you have an interesting twist. The actor Himesh Patel must carry this heavy burden of him knowing all the Beatles tunes and practically nobody else remembering that they even exist. Slowly but surely people start to recognize that he is writing the greatest music ever written, and he struggles with the celebrity that comes from being a huge star. The songs are not thrown in your face constantly and the director does concentrate on the acting of Himesh, Lily James and evil talent agent Kate McKinnon. Very well done. I've seen it 3 times. I won't tell you the shocking, sentimental ending other than it puts the ribbon on this Beatles present of a movie.

    An odd cosmic event erases The Beatles from history. Only 1 man - a struggling, about-to-quit young musician (who also works at Walmart) can remember them and their work! A love letter to the Beatles, with a very sweet romance blended in. Unrealistic, but so is everything else now-a-days.

    Interesting concept and it was great to see it play out in this rom-com. Glad it was not a standard biopic and had its own story idea.

    One of the worst movies I have ever seen. I was baffled when I saw a 6+ rating for this movie. Some of the filming angles and scripting was weird and there was a good amount of judging him for his appearance. The only thing I liked was Ed Sheeran appearance.
