Description

Jack Malik was just another struggling songwriter...but that was yesterday. After a mysterious blackout, Jack (Himesh Patel) discovers he is the only person on earth who remembers The Beatles! As he rockets to fame by passing off the Fab Four's songs as his own, Jack risks losing Ellie (Lily James) – the one person who has loved him and believed in him from the start. Before the door to his old life closes forever, Jack must decide if all he needs is love, after all. Kate McKinnon and Ed Sheeran also star in this romantic rock 'n' roll comedy from Academy Award®-winning director Danny Boyle and Academy Award®-nominated screenwriter Richard Curtis.

Funny and original movie; something you don’t see much of these days. Great fun, can’t “imagine” why anyone would give it less than 5 stars.

Moves too fast

Not bad overall, loved the incorporation of John Lennon. But the story seemed to move a little fast. I didn’t hate the movie, but didn’t love it either. Music was amazing, though.

This is a wonderful movie, but...

This a great and a must see movie if you’re a Beetle’s fan, but you should watch the deleted scenes because there are a few that should have made the cut, more than anything the alternate ending is better than the one in the movie. Still absolutely love to watch this!

Deleted scene don’t work on iPhone!!!

Hollywood is so obvious in whom they want to force together it makes watching all their movies difficult.

Great movie!

Wonderful movie from start to finish...especially it’s climax. Yes, the music grabs you you, but the story brings you in to the character’s dilemma. Perfect path to the needed solution. This grown man of 68 cried as soon as he saw “the house.”

So I have never been a huge Beatles fan. Listened to them since I was young because of my parents always playing them in the car. Didn’t dislike them, just wasn’t a big fan and didn’t appreciate what they accomplished. Watching this movie hanged my mind! This movie is so funny and justa great “what if..” moment we have all had about being the ones who did something great. Please check it out!

A MUST SEE for Beatles Fans

The movie is heartfelt and well done... but the best part??
It makes you fall in love with The Beatles Catalogue all over again!

Great concept, a bit inconsistent though...

Hits all the right beats faithfully, and the leads are fab, but the plot meanders, and then totally loses its way in the the third act. Bizarre homages, but some fun Beatles songs and one or two special moments. Mostly makes you think of what could have been, though.

Great for all ages!

I took my 8 year old son to see this movie in the theater and we both LOVED it!!! Just a sweet, original, fun way to incorporate the music of The Beatles into a new movie. I have loved the Beatles since I was a little girl, and now my son is obsessed! He sits in his room listening to old Beatles records I inherited and sings all of the songs it warms my heart. :) Highly recommend this movie and I will definitely be buying it!

What a fun and happy film!

Saw it several times in theaters (I especially enjoyed the full ‘Hey Jude’ by the real Beatles over the end credits via the awesome movie theater speakers!), and thoroughly enjoyed it. As I write this it’s almost all gone from theaters. Can’t wait for the iTunes release ~ still a preorder at this moment.
The film was highly intriguing on a deeper level, and while it’s not addressed or hinted at whatsoever as a possibility in the movie (or anywhere else I have personally seen so far discussing the film) but since this is a work of fiction, and by certain clues in the film, I finally came to the conclusion that during the blackout Jack - and the two others who ‘remember’ - somehow ‘blipped’ to a parallel universe.
No .. stay with me for a second. It’s the only way certain physical things (missing items that he once knew ... his record collection, certain soft drink machines, etc.) can be explained with any degree of verisimilitude, and when I watched it in that context it made a *heck* of a lot more ‘sense’ — and actually made it more enjoyable.
Think about it - the ‘real’ Ellie or anything else he knew no longer exists for him, but instead everything is an exact duplicate ... fun to contemplate, but again any ‘science fiction’ aspect of what happened never made it into the movie. Not complaining, just thinking too much. 😂

Sweet and hilarious!

“Yesterday” is a feel-good romantic comedy about a musician who’s about to pack it in when fate gives him an amazing gift. The Beatles. To his chagrin, he wakes up in a world where only he can appreciate their true genius.
This, woven with a love story, is hugely entertaining.
Himesh Patel acquits himself nicely as the musician who must choose between being in integrity or giving up his true self to become something beyond his wildest dreams. His interpretations of iconic Beatles tunes is astonishing.
The only drawback to this first-rate film is Kate McKinnon, who goes from hysterical to flat out annoying as hell. Someone needs to tell her that less is more and to dial in her schtick whenever possible.
Other than the obnoxious McKinnon, the rest of the cast, including a green-eyed Ed Sheehan, is fantastic.
This is definitely one of the best movies of the year.
Who knew you could tell a great story without having to save the world from yet another galactic calamity?

I loved this movie! I didn’t care too much for the Beatles but then as I started listening to their music more and getting into them the trailer for this movie was released and this movie was amazing! I loved every second of it I saw it twice in theatre! I was born 1997 too! Sooo it’s not just for older folks that grew up with the Beatles I’d say it’s for those who truly love music!

Very Good

The movie was fantastic! It had a lot of great characters and went with the plot pretty nicely. My only concern is that it’s kinda confusing and I have some questions like as to why Jack and the older couple are the only people who can remember The Beatles? Is it because of Jack getting hit by the bus? But other than that it’s a must see 😄 don’t listen to the rotten tomatoes score. It’s definitely underrated for what it is.

Very Enjoyable

My wife was reluctant to go see this movie in the local theater because she knows I am a die-hard lifelong Beatles fan, and I'm a real purist when it comes to anything Beatles related. I told her not to worry because I knew the plot from the available trailers and I was not going into it with any preconcieved notions at all. I just wanted an enjoyable afternoon with my best girl (25+ years). That is exactly what I got! In some small way, I suppose this film could be categorized a romantic comedy scored by the best music ever written.

Incredible movie!!

This movie is amazing and so much more complex than the fairly simple premise. I almost feel like it is the first movie that is actually, in part, about the “Mandela effect.”
Movie has a heart and it is one of the most enjoyable and entertaining movies I have seen in the last 20 years. Very believable even when dealing with a hard to believe topic. My whole family loved it! Another winner from Danny Boyle...

Fun! A great movie

This helped to recall some of the incredible Beatles songs that I had forgotten and renewed my interest in hearing them once again. The Beatles truly were extraordinary and this movie was such a tribute to their amazing works! The movie was original, creative, well done and well acted. I enjoyed it from beginning to end and left wanting to see it again. It was fun fun fun! Probably my favorite movie of the year!

Loved this movie!

I saw this movie yesterday, and while I’m awake at 3:45am because I can’t get the disturbing images of Midsommar, which I also saw today, out of my head, this is the film that impacted me most today, and probably this year.
I didn’t know what to expect past what the charming trailer presented, and it was executed *far* better than I had even hoped. My girlfriend who grew up loving The Beatles, and I who never really liked them, both cried during the film. It really focused on the power of great music, the grip it holds on people’s hearts and lives, and I found it all to be such an emotional rollercoaster that Kate McKinnon (a national treasure at this point) was thoroughly needed to keep lightness in my heart. What most impressed me about the screenplay was that this was the rare film where danger and guilt and “digging your own grave with a lie” were presented, but the character was never forced to fall to atone for what he considered an offense to reality. That single fact is what made me cry tears from the beauty, not from sadness or unfairness or heartbreak (a la “A Star is Born”).
I realize some critics didn’t enjoy the film because of its “hokey” plot, but what are movies if not a chance to ask “what if?” and tell a great story? Well, it was a true pleasure to witness one that executed “what if?” perfectly, and it was a *great* story.
Extra props to the heart-warmingly unexpected “cameo.” That blew us away. Perfection.

Absolutely enjoyed it!!

I have always been a fan of the Beatles but this movie makes it enjoyable for all ages, even those who didn’t grow up listening to their music. It puts a new spin and the band and all of their greatest hits! I’m not gonna lie, I mainly wanted to see it because Ed Sheeran was in it haha! The movie was great though! My 11 year old son thoroughly enjoyed it as well.

In my case, 63. So I grew up listening to the greatest musical group in the history of mankind. Have seen a few reviews saying how mediocre, or in some cases, downright bad this movie is. BS. To even imagine the world w/o The Beatles is unthinkable to me. So when I first heard about this movie I thought it COULD be done. But could it be done right. Well, it’s done right. Are there flaws? Of course. Certainly nothing that’s going to make you leave the theater. And probably you won’t even notice them. Minuscule. See it. I have. And in my case I’ve preordered it. It’s funny. It’s sweet. It’s great. It’s more popular than Jesus Christ.

So boring, couldn’t wait for it to end 😥😥. Thought it would be so much better. If you HAVE to see I’d suggest waiting for the rental...... you’ll have to take breaks.
