Summary: 4 Stars
It was the Fall of 1964 and America was still mourning the death of President John F. Kennedy. Something had to help get the nation out of it's doldrums. That help came in the form of four moptop lads, called the Beatles, hailing from Liverpool, England! They started a musical/cultural/youth revolution, when they arrived in America and gave a historic, widely seen, live performance on "The Ed Sullivan Show". This is the backdrop of Bob Zemeckis' nostalgic, hilarious, slapstick comedy "I Wanna Hold Your Hand". The film chronicles the adventures of six New Jersey. teenagers, who travel to NYC hoping to either meet their 'Fab Four' heroes or at least get into the show. The group includes Grace (Theresa Seldano) an aspiring photographer who wants to get exclusive Beatle photographs, Rosie (Wedy Jo Sperber), who believes Paul McCartney is her future "soul mate", Janis (Susan Kendall) a beatnik/folkie, who sees the Beatles as a form of youth rebellion, and finally, Pam (Nancy Allen), who's on a last fling before getting married. The girls, along with two guys, split up and go on various wacky adventures trying to penetrate the Beatles' fortress-like, NYC, luxury hotel and eventually meet up at the " Really Bigggg Shewwww!!!" Director/Writer Bob Zemeckis (along with co-writer, Bob Gale) has done a wonderful job of recreating the electricity and manic atmosphere, that surrounded the Beatles' first visit to America. What's more he does this without ever really showing us the Beatles! Instead the smart and funny script focuses on the kids and the mania they are enveloped in. The pacing of the story is fast and furious. Much of the comedy is highlighted with slapstick stunts (suit cases go flying, cars crash and even gumball machines get broken), which evolve from the various plans to get close to John, Paul, George and Ringo. The cast does a fine job with their roles. Actress, Wendy Jo Sperber is hilarious as the portly teenie bopper, who is forever throwing a fist full of dimes at various telephone booths trying to win concert tickets from radio contests. I also liked comic actor, Eddy Deezen who plays a nutty, Jerry Lewis-like, Beatlemaniac, who helps the girls out. Mention should also be made of the wonderful costumes and sets, which give an air of authenticity to recreating the era. This is also helped by the film's great soundtrack, which is wall to wall, original Beatles' music. Extras include an excellent commentary track by Robert Zemeckis & Bob Gale, which really highlights the technical aspects of making the film. This is a very funny movie, which should satisfy both Beatle fans and fans of good slapstick comedy!
