Message: [QUOTE="dbmill, post: 3324038, member: 2504"] Funny thing, when "Yesterday" was initially released, I thought about putting it on my long list of films to see, but initially decided not to. I have to say, I was on the fence on this decision. I am a big Beatles fan, and while I thought the premise sounded interesting, the thought of everyone forgetting about the Beatles was a bit much. However, one day out of the blue, my wife, who is not a Beatles fan at all, expressed a big interest in seeing this movie. Apparently she had read a fantasy book about a country that had been forgotten that she had enjoyed, so she wanted to see how it would work in a music format At that point I figured that if she was interested in a film centering on the Beatles, then I would certainly go along for the ride. Anyway, I found that while it is not a great movie, for the most part "Yesterday" is watchable and held my interest. The best part of the film for me is Himesh Patel and his singing of the various Beatle songs. Patel did very well with it, his voice matches very well with a lot of the material. Also a plus in this movie is his relationship with his girl friend, played by Lily James. I agree with the above review about her, she definitely won me over with her charm and her adorability. Patel struggling with his new found fame was not a positive for me, but overall the music of the Beatles wins out. One other note. Richard Curtis wrote the screenplay and was one of the producers of "Yesterday". Curtis had a big hand in writing one of my favorite television comedy series, "Blackadder". And to think, just the other day my wife told me that she had a cunning plan, a big catch phrase from that show. [/QUOTE]
