My kids dragged me to see this movie last night. "Beatles' music?!? Ugh." I said... but I went anyway because Bono is in the movie. WOW!!! We were a bit late and came in while TV Carpio was singing the ever-annoying "I Wanna Hold Your Hand"; we were all captivated immediately! I loved the movie and especially loved every single second of music in it! I'd have bought the soundtrack on the way home if it had been available at midnight. Tonight I went to the discount store and saw the single-CD version, but I want it ALL, so I searched online for a store that carries this version locally. Can't wait to pick up two copies (one for me, one for a gift) tomorrow.
If you're a Beatles fan, you should love the fresh voices and new arrangements. Even if you're not (like me), you will thrill to the surprise stars in the movie and the beautiful way these songs tell the story of life in the 60s. Can't wait to hear this CD tomorrow and even to see the movie again. Excellent all the way 'round!!!
What's great about it: Incredible voices - young and not-so-old
