Rated PG-13 - Rotten Tomatoes freshness score 64%, Popcornmeter 89%, IMDB rating 6.8/10
Synopsis:
Jack Malek is an aspiring but failing British singer songwriter. Then one night, everything changed. For reasons no one can explain, the power went out for 12 seconds all around the world. Sadly for Jack, at just that moment he was hit by a bus and woke up in hospital the next day with massive bumps and bruises and without his beard and two of his front teeth. To welcome him back, he meets his friends and he receives a new guitar as a gift to replace the one that was crushed in the accident. So, he says that a great guitar deserves a great song, and he plays and sings YESTERDAY, by The Beatles. His friends are genuinely shocked at what a great song that was, and then they all claim to have never heard it before. Jack thinks they are just playing a complicated joke on him, but when he discovers that he's the only in the world who remembers The Beatles, he wonders what he should do.
Thoughts:
I fell in love with this movie the first time I saw it. Wow! And I'm a bit embarrassed to say that I've seen it 17 times so far since I added this title to my movie library. Then again, I'm not embarrassed at all!
It's interesting to watch the character and story arcs in this movie, and the twists involving the actual Beatles were perfect! I look forward to watching it another 20 times over the next handful of years.
