I loved that movie!!!
I liked how sadie said somthing about max could have just hit his grandmother with a hammer for al she knew. I sang along to all the songs cause we were like alone in the theatre

Jude is a hottie XD

The weirdest part of the movie was either when Prudence was walking between the foot-ball players, not even fazed, and they're just crashing around her. The first time I watched it, I half expected this:
"....You've got that something, I think you'll understand. When I say that something, I want to hold your---EEEP!"

And then when she said 'Just tell them you're a *****, and you want to rape and pillage all the little girls that look like me.' Huuuuuh?

Haha! I know! Prudence is just a badass. xd

I recently saw this move with my lady, ChaynaKellam, and I must say, it is one of the best musicals if not the best ever. I think it does the Beatles' music justice and the film is brilliantly executed with many hidden innuendos for the hardcore Beatle fans, which seem to be most here! I have noticed such things as Jude doing artwork and paintings very much like Stuart Sutcliffe. Max using the "hammer" on the fan. Prudence "coming out to play". The apartments where Jude lives is the area where the beatles used to hang out behind that church. The bus trip could also represent a "Magical Mystery Tour". Plus many other things that have probably been mentioned here before. The soundtrack is nothing short of impressive. Some tracks could be a bit better like "I've Just Seen A Face" and "Being for the Benefit of Mr. Kite!" but all in all it is a grand compilation of some of the greatest songs of them all. I hope that the sound of them and the presentation entices and invites all these youths of today who like most of the trash music of today to open their eyes and ears to true talent. This film is a prime example of the rhythmic heartbeat of the Beatles timeless masterpieces. They will seemingly never die. To tribute this wondrous movie and this "Real Love" my girlfriend and I share, I have made my own little version of the movie poster. Check em out!

When i went to see it, my friend and i were the only two people in the theater. It was pretty awesome.

The theater here was packed... YAY! Beatles-love!

Dude. Everybody sang along to Strawberry Fields, Hey Jude, I Am The Walrus, All You Need Is Love and Helter Skelter.

I didn't like the way Sadie sang, though.... Probably because the songs she did sing were, like, Why Don't We Do It In The Road? and Helter Skelter - some of my all-time favorates, and, well, maybe I'm just bitter...

'Twas awesome. I'm buying it... Woo... DVD...

I just think its such a cool concept to take songs and actually use them to progress the plot. Normally musicals just sing to sing. In this movie, the songs are actually important.
And then add to that that it's the Beatles music and set in the 1960's, it's automatically a winner for me. Even my mom, who hates musicals, loves that movie.
I realize that the music isn't the same, but they did a really goos just in not changing them too much and just modernizing them.
I can watch that movie everyday and never get tired of it.

Also, I like how they named the characters after people in in songs and snucj things in like "Well you look clean cut, but then again, you could've killed your granny with a hammer" from Maxwell's Silver Hammer and "She came in through that bathroom window" I love that.
