Give My Regards to Broad Street

I wouldn't go so far as to call this movie a 'crap-fest'. I have definitely sat through much worse. Given the time frame in which it was made, it could have been much, much worse than it actually was. I wouldn't call it a guilty pleasure, either. Though it wasn't a complete waste of time, it was awfully trite and clichéd. It plays like an extended music video, as well as seeming like a statement on the extreme boredom of Paul McCartney. (In Macca's defense, blogs didn't really exist then.) Although it's a didn't completely suck, Sir Paul really should stick to writing songs and leave screen writing to professionals. The music was good, of course- a nifty mix of classic Lennon/McCartney and originals. Some of the visuals were very interesting as well. Once again I must make the music video comparison here. But, overall, it must be said- though it's not a crap-fest, it's still extremely cheesy. A total cheese-fest. Yeah.

Though "Silly Love Song" sounds very silly in this movie version, not a big fan of "Ballroom Dancing" song though the dance sequence was pretty good, and the whole imaginary "Eleanor Rigby" instrumental sequence just a whatever for me, the rest is entertaining, the song, the performances, even i'm fine with the story, as a fan of McCartney and Musical, Give My Regards To Broad Street is a nice little experimental film from McCartney that the result for me was well done.

About the only thing this film has going for it is Paul McCartney singing some Beatles classics as well as some of the newer Wings titles.An attempt to capture the energy of "It's a Hard Days Night" fails dismally without John Lennon and George Harrison.Ringo's here,but barely utters a word.This is Paul's show all the way.This film desperately needed something it sorely lacks-ENERGY.What a shame.

If you're a McCartney fan, it's the equivalent of a hour and a half music video. No real plot. Silly dialogue. It's essentially a self indulgent effort. Much in the same line as Magical Mystery Tour. Not as creepy, but not as inventive either. But I saw it in HD at home last night and the soundtrack was certainly worth it. EXCELLENT sound. So if you would like to see what is essentially a McCartney / Beatles Video starring Paul and Ringo, this is right up you're alley. Some minor parts as well may have some interest to fans. Again, if you're not a McCartney fan, then you'd probably skip this one. If you are, and can get it with full sound, then do it.

Here is a light-hearted, entertaining movie that gets quickly dismissed by critics who think every movie should be a 'Godfather' or something. If you like rock music in general and aren't looking for a complicated plot, this movie is a very nice Brit production complete with pretty visuals and kooky characters; if you are a fan of Paul and/or The Beatles, then you will love this movie, plain and simple!

Compared to Paul McCartney's last opus "Magical Mystery Tour, this movie wasn't all that bad, I thought. I loved the songs, the story was OK, and over all I was pleased. It was a nice surprize to see Ringo in there too! Great for all Beatle fans!

I am huge paul mccartney fan! and I must say this movie rocks,I love the plot of how he must find his tapes before midnight or serious consequences will happen.Ringo acts funny,and the soundtrack is really cool.
