For casual viewers, the whole thing has a retro charm. For Beatles fans, it's a flawed but essential film.
The boys themselves are exuberant and uninhibited in their own genial way. They just become awfully redundant and -- dare I say it? -- dull.
Madcap, nonsensical romp with the Beatles.
A fascinatingly manic adventure-comedy that doesn't always work as well as it might, but has worn much better than some of the other films made in the same vein at the same time.
Help! is a magical set of vignettes threaded together by an ingenious script full Northern dry wit and some of the cleverest non-sequiturs and sight gags ever delivered with a straight face. Also, having the four kings of 1960's England at the heig
Help! remains a wonderful testament to a time when being a Beatle was still satisfying - at least, on the cinematic surface.
Beatles fans have always been too kind in overlooking the film's obvious flaws.
Already dated, but still a fun romp with the legendary Beatles.
A Hard Day's Night may be more primitive, but it also seems more spontaneous.
Lester's anarchic absurdity and quick cut camera gags make for a pretty good whole.
A cheerful and cheeky death-knell for traditional standards of well-crafted filmmaking from the previous decade.
Quirky but uneven musical-comedy
Great Beatles movie full of fun, irreverent humor
It really was phenomenal for the time, but even then, a bit thin around the edges. Our boys got to joke and meander about in a spy time spoof. Fun.
