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.
Movie Review: yeah yeah yeah!
Summary: 4 Stars
I wish Zemeckis would go back to making films like this rather than dreck like 'the Polar Express' (apologies to anyone who liked that film) This is a hilarious ride set during one magical night when the Beatles played Ed Sullivan. (imagine the funniest moments of Back to Future played out over an entire film...if that makes sense...) There's a manic energy to this film that you won't find in recent comedies...the movie is helped a great deal by Nancy Allen who is hilarious AND a knockout. (hey if you don't like the move...at least you can listen to the soundtrack, non-stop Beatle songs...if you don't like the Beatles there's no talking to you.....
PS By the way look for pretty much the entire cast in 1941 as well.
Movie Review: Relive the glory days of Beatlemania!
Summary: 4 Stars
Take a quick trip back to 1964. The place is New York City and the setting is the Beatles on Ed Sullivan. That halcyon time of innocence and gaity, screaming mobs of female (and male) fans and that paragon of early TV, Ed Sullivan, who brought entertainment into the lives of ordinary Americans every Sunday Night. Six teenagers from New Jersey descend upon New York City to meet their idols, the Beatles. It is a bit wild, very funny and sometimes poignant.Movie Review: Totally charming film!
Summary: 4 Stars
Probably the only film I ever enjoyed Nancy Allen in....
Seriously, the movie manages to PERFECTLY capture the still semi-sedate early 60s with the changes Beatlemania brought about. If you were fortunate enough to have lived through that period, this will hit the mark dead-on. If you weren't, you may learn something about the older folks. Worth seeing several times
Movie Review: A lotta music, a lotta nonsense
Summary: 4 Stars
The real music is worth it. Not cover bands. The story line and general nonsense you can put up with. Surprisingly historically accurate. For Beatles fans. Hey, Mister... Young cast, later stars.
