Summary: JARED HARRIS IS FIRST-RATE AS JOHN LENNON!
Review: A must-see for all Beatles fans. This film is worth seeing alone for Jared Harris' outstanding portrayal of John Lennon. It doesn't matter that Harris doesn't exactly resemble Lennon; his mannerisms, expressions, posture, accent and attitude are pure Lennon. Best scene: Lennon in a local cafe verbally sparring with a stuttering fan as to whether Paul McCartney & Wings' "Silly Love Songs" is worthy of #1 status in America.

Summary: Excellent Acting
Review: For anyone who loves the Beatles, (Half the population of Earth) you will be rewarded with a fictional but very realistic account, of what may of happened on this infamous meeting. Paul's character played by Quinn was truly remarkable. Since his death, so much of Johns place in history has been covered and magnified, while in many accounts Paul has been given an unfair shake on his place as an intelligent, sensitive and brilliant musician. I came off feeling how special and warm Paul is both in his humour and listening skills. Both actors though were outstanding. You walk away from this film wanting more. But unfortunatly we know, more did not happen. I would Love to see a movie of this kind be made of George Harrison's life. He is probably the most underrated musical genius of the modern era. Thank You!

Summary: Top Notch Movie Making, With Just Enough Tender Moments!
Review: I watched this film, feeling like I was watching the real Paul and John interacting somewhere in time! I saw the television portion concerning Saturday Night Live myself when it actually happened, and wondered myself if the Beatles saw it and would take them up on the silly offer. I thoroughly loved this movie and recommend it to anyone who would like to get a little more insight into John and Paul's deep friendship! Just see it!

Summary: A fabulous "what if..."
Review: I'll admit it, I'm a sucker for good "fan-fiction" about my favorite bands and musicians, and that was the lure to me when I first heard about this movie. A "what if" story about a rumored meeting between the long-estranged band members, this film delivered more than I'd ever hoped for.
The lead actors may not bear the strongest physical resemblance to John and Paul, but they more than make up for it in the way they both seem to "inhabit" these "characters", and allow you to fall under the illusion they create for the film. And for a film that is primarily 90 minutes of two people talking (mostly in John's NY apartment, and then in Central Park and a tiny cafe), it is surprisingly engaging and swift-moving. You don't need to be a Beatles expert to appreciate this film, although some basic knowledge of Paul and (particularly) John's personal histories do make the story that much richer.
The ending is bittersweet, but the only way the story really could have gone. As soon as I finished watching this movie the first time I knew I had to have it on DVD, as it's a story I'm going to want to revisit many times in the future, I'm sure. All in all, WAY more than I expected from a made-for-VH1 film.

Summary: Inspired movie making
Review: Michael Linsey-Hogg, the director of Let It Be, weaves fact and fiction into a compelling movie about two of the greatest personalities of our generation.McCartney comes off a bit too warm in this but its hard to see that as a flaw. Reputed to be a 'cool' person at the best of times perhaps we see through to the real Paul. Lennon on the other hand is accurately portrayed from the clowning to the acid wit he was so well known for. While the actors don't physically resemble John and Paul that well they certainly come across as them if you just squint your eyes and pretend a little. Best moments in the movie: McCartney in a heartfelt moment telling John how during the break up of the Beatles he felt as though he was losing his best friend. Lennons acid response. "We were never that close mate". A scene in Central Park with the two of them in disguise. Reminiscent of A Hard Days Night is the exchange between them and two mounted police. We laughed out loud at this one and the scene just felt right. A scene in a restaurant when an elderly couple finally get there nerve up to approach John. They make the gaffe of requesting that he sing a few bars of Yesterday (Pauls song). Lennons response again had us laughing out loud and again it felt as though it really was John saying it. The best moment of all is one with John and Paul on the roof of the Dakota. I won't attempt to describe this one but it brought tears to my eyes and confirmed to me that the chemistry between John and Paul was truly magic. This movie brings back a little of the joy the Beatles brought to the world way back when. A celebration of John and Paul and the real world magic of Beatle music.

Summary: A Must for All Beatles Fans
Review: The main reason this film is worth seeing -- Jared Harris' performance as John Lennon. He has perfectly captured all of Lennon's wit, charm, sarcasm, mannerisms, speech patterns and, of course, distinctive Liverpudlian accent.

Review: The movie started out very intersting and at the end, I wanted it to go on forever! Quinn and Harris portrayed John and Paul so well, I forgot they were just great, under-rated actors! I think that John and Paul had one of the best, most interesting friendships of the century and this movie certianly portryed that! Harris did everything I've seen John do, the slang, the gestures and silliness. A must see for any Beatle fan!!!

Summary: Very Funny!
Review: There is nothing revealed in this movie that the average Beatles fan doesn't already know. But Quinn shines in his portrayal of Paul McCartney. Literally EVERYTHING he says sounds like a question: "You're looking well?", "Let's go for a walk?". HYSTERICAL!
