About this movie

Jack Malik was just another struggling songwriter...but that was yesterday. After a mysterious blackout, Jack (Himesh Patel) discovers he is the only person on earth who remembers The Beatles! As he rockets to fame by passing off the Fab Four's songs as his own, Jack risks losing Ellie (Lily James) – the one person who has loved him and believed in him from the start. Before the door to his old life closes forever, Jack must decide if all he needs is love, after all. Kate McKinnon and Ed Sheeran also star in this romantic rock 'n' roll comedy from Academy Award®-winning director Danny Boyle and Academy Award®-nominated screenwriter Richard Curtis.

Ratings and reviews

So I wanted to watch it right BUT heres the thing, there is no purchase button on my screen anywhere, even if I go onto the app on my phone, it just says to add to my wishlist and if I scroll down the recommended movies all say a price, but this one doesn't and wont even allow me to purchase it

Started excellently. Was very funny. Original idea. But the public apology ruined it for me. They shouldn't have ended up together he was awful. Just cared about fame. Public apologies annoy me because the person basically has to forgive them because there's a whole crowd of people saying oh wow that's so sweet say you forgive him.

Top music, top fun: It’s an unforgettable romantic story!!! Sequence after sequence it's hilarious to see how the music of The Beatles has to battle to reconquer the world. Interview between troubled Jack (Himesh) and an old John Lennon is one of the best and most beautiful sequences of the film. Gorgeous Lily James is the muse of Jack, and she deserves all the hits of the Beatles indeed. An amazing Ed Sheeran and a tough Kate McKinnon, complete an ensemble that works perfectly into tune.
