This movie has become internationally known (and translated and uploaded to the Web (but rent or buy it so that you can view the whole movie without any breaks)) because of its touching treatment of the relationship between Paul and John. The writing is excellent. The movie stands the test of time.
Mark Stanfield's writing breaks through the perceived stalemates between John and Paul. The viewer gets to see them go beyond the wisecracks (although there are plenty of those--and familiar ones, too) to express emotion we the viewer wish we had seen in them. The movie ventures into the possible, which is completely believable.
There are some wonderful settings: What is supposed to be Cafe Fortuna, Central Park, Yoko's white apartment, all believable. Nice comedy moments. Wonderful film.
