Movie Reviews of I Wanna Hold Your Hand
Movie Review: We Love it, yea, yea, yea!
Summary: 4 Stars
My wife, kids and I loved this film.
A bunch of teens from New Jersey goes to New York to score tickets to see the Beatles live at the Ed Sullivan Show but to succeed such an impossible task, these talented and funny people goes through comical hell getting there.
My young kids, (All Beatles fans), enjoyed it. My wife and I howled with laughter many times thoughout.
My kids though pointed out some technical flaws such as John Lennon's Rickenbacker wasn't the correct model and Paul's Hofner bass in the movie was for a right-hander. Well, it was a good effort.
This film was originally released in 1978, but I never heard of it until recently. It was produced by Steven Spielberg and some of the same young talent was used in Spielberg's later film, "1941", But "I Wanna Hold Your Hand" was far better than that.
Some of the language is a touch harsh, but, beside that, a family could sit down and enjoy this one.
Summary of I Wanna Hold Your Hand
Teens go to new york for the beatles 1964 ed sullivan show debut. Studio: Uni Dist Corp. (mca) Release Date: 02/08/2005 Starring: Nancy Allen Susan Kendall Newman Run time: 104 minutes Rating: Pg Director: Robert ZemeckisThe happy hysteria--or total insanity--that was Beatlemania is brilliantly evoked in this charming, entertaining 1978 movie from director Robert Zemeckis (Back to the Future, Forrest Gump) and executive producer Steven Spielberg. It's February 1964. The Fab Four are making their first trip to America, and four Jersey girls (plus a couple of reluctant boys) are determined to get face to face with them--at their hotel, at their historic appearance on Ed Sullivan's TV show, or otherwise. They do so with varying degrees of success, and in ways that are amusing and clever, as are the depictions of the Beatles themselves (the real Fabs appear only in archival footage; in the film, their stand-ins are seen only from the back, from the waist down, and so on). Best of all, the soundtrack is filled with actual Beatle music. This one's an unexpected treat. --Sam Graham
