I guess you had to live in the era to get it. A fine job by all considering the short time it took to make not to mention the restricted budget. Catchy songs and close up action of the Fab Four.

Nicely captures the charm and innocence of the Beatlemania era. The early influence of the British comedy troupe The Goons is in full display. Almost every Rock and Roll band's stab at a movie breakthrough falls back on the conventions set by Richard Lester in A Hard Day's Night.

Considering the budget they had and the Script, The Beatles did a fab job on this. It is very funny and it goes with out saying that the music is great. It plays like a big video, so really it was the first video. MTV should send 10% of every thing they make to the Beatles for inventing videos.

It really depicted, brilliantly, the innocence and the human side of the Fab Four. This has got to be the most underrated music movie/documentary of all time.

It really was the Beatles who began putting visual aid to their music. Analysts still now look on this movie from the mid '60s for inspiration on great theatrical pictures.

The Beatles most definitely were on the influence of some drug while doing this movie. They are the greatest band of all time. But this movie made very little sense. All that sticks with me is them running around a field doing synchronized whatnot.

My favorite movie of all time! This movie was NOT ridiculous, and the soundtrack was NOT weak. Is it a crime for someone to be silly? Is it horrible that I laughed out loud? There are so many great scenes in there, and the boys get to be themselves, which is great. It shows the younger generation(like me), how Beatlemania really was. The performances are really great. I especially love the Can't Buy Me Love number out on the field. I have a question for all of you who gave this movie less than 5 stars, I'm 13, would you rather me watch a hilarious Beatles movie, or some X-rated movie?

I thought this was an excellent movie. Mostly I appreciated the actual footage of live Beatle shows with girls screaming and fainting and of the fab 4 running away from mad fans. Also, there were interviews with the boys along with music and a great representation of how weird it is that they speak with English accents but sing with no accent at all.

A great movie that allowed the world to get to know the outrageous personalities of the Beatles. The music is great, of course, and each one of the fab four do a good job of acting. Possibly the first music video.

This movie was ridiculous (although not quite as bad as "Help") It was so stupid! The only good parts was the song Can't Buy me Love, and just buy the tape if y' wanna hear it y'know!!!

What was the point of this movie other than to cash in on Beatlemania? No plot, weak soundtrack, and worst of all, John's silliness.
