A sure-fire boxoffice smash.

Without question, this is a Night to remember.

For fans this is a chance to enjoy The Beatles' legendary music and charisma with unprecedented clarity.

Charged with vitality, and inventiveness.
01/01/00
The film is mad, mad and crazy, shrewdly designed for the teenage and calculated also to attract the curious and the oldsters who enjoy this sort of thing.
01/01/00
The film moves with such joy, humor and fluidity that you can't help getting swept up in the frenzied action.

Great band, great music, great film. Not only that, it remains a fascinating portrait of Britain on the cusp of change.
04/17/01
The film was easy to dance to and had a sound comic rhythm. It still does.
12/22/00
It's a fine conglomeration of madcap clowning in the old Marx Brothers' style, and it is done with such a dazzling use of camera that it tickles the intellect and electrifies the nerves.

Everything about this movie is a smile.
12/08/02
Filled with unforgettable moments, most having to do with the music.
01/19/01
Richard Lester's tangential, effortlessly clever ode to the Fab Four, given the re-mastered print and soundtrack treatment, still feels fresh and alive.

Top CriticThe deadpan humor and non-sequiturs are delivered with such dry perfection you often find yourself rewinding to see if you really heard what you think you did. (And you did.)
09/21/02
More than anything else, the movie is a snapshot of how much fun Beatlemania really was.

You thought, like I once did when I was too young and punk rock to care, that the Beatles were irrelevant old people who should just go away. This will convince you they were cool.
01/01/00
It's by no stretch of the imagination a good film, but it gets over as a curio and a landmark in modern Western culture.
08/29/05
To watch the movie, and to enjoy such pop music classics as 'All My Loving' and 'She Loves You' is not merely to saunter down Memory or Penny Lane, but to drink at pop's headwaters.

Top CriticAmerican-born director Richard Lester serves up a helping of what, on this side of the pond, we came to think of as kicky, mod British filmmaking.
