Sobre aquesta pel·lícula

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.

The character Jack is relatable and I understand how his conflicted feelings are tearing him apart. His friend Rocky is hilarious, Ed Sheeran's cameos didn't seem too forced and were actually realistic. There's a scene near the end of the movie that really hit hard and I almost cried. Anyone who has seen it knows which scene I'm talking about. The Beatles music sprinkled throughout added extra enjoyment. Overall, great movie!

"The world is full of miracles. Like Benedict Cumberbatch becoming a sex symbol." It's this sort of glib, off the cuff quip that makes you relish the comic genius of Blackadder/Four Weddings and a Funeral writer Richard Curtis. Following a downturn of late (The Boat that Rocked, anyone? No? Not surprised!) he partly romps back to form with a movie that whilst not being the most hilarious comedy around, is smart, engaging and worth seeing.

Good concept, but poor for a Danny Boyle film, should have been a lot stronger with a punchier storyline. Full of clichés and not funny 'funny' moments. Still worth a watch, but not the best by a normally faultless director.
