A "Rocky-Horror" for the Beatles
8 October 2009
OK, I've been hearing a lot of negative reviews for this film. To be honest, I do agree that watching it alone is very weird. I borrowed this from the library, and I am a HUGE Beatles fan so I had to watch this, and I felt stupid-but pleased. I was pleased with some of the covers of songs! Others I was less pleased with. I personally loved this because it had a very campy feel, and I could definitely see this being shown at midnight showings with a "Rocky Horror" style viewing. It was not THAT bad, people! When they did "Golden Slumbers/Carry That Weight", I almost cried... almost, still worth mentioning though. Plus, they got some pretty good bands doing covers! Sometimes, flattery towards an amazing band, is a form of showing appreciation for that of which was perfection. Overall, I LOVED the camp feel of this movie! Covers I loved: Maxwell's Silver Hammer, Come Together, Fixing a Hole, Golden Slumbers/Carry That Weight, Get Back, Covers that I did not like: Mean Mr. Mustard (unbearable), Oh! Darling, that's all the ones I hated I think... I didn't mind the others (they aren't THAT bad!)
