I never seen this movie by Sir Paul until tonight (Dec 2010). When it came out in 1984 it had the most Horrible reviews and was considered a complete Bomb.
For years I been wanting to see this movie and stumbled onto the DVD last week (I didnt even know it had been released on DVD).
It's funny how critics will marvel at the Beatles "Hard days Night" and "Help" movies yet dish this one. I found this movie to be extremely enjoyable and loved every minute of it.
To See Ringo in the supporting role and a cameo by Sir George Martin in thsi movie certainly gave it a Beatle like atmosphere to it.
(Linda McCartney was very much in the film as well).
You are FLOODED with so many GREAT production numbers, those alone are worth the purchase price. Paul and Ringo perform Ball Room Dancing, So Bad, a Beatles medley, other musical numbers are: No More Lonely Nights, Silly Love Songs, Eleanor Rigby(with a brand new written extended Orchestra number to it written by Paul).
There is a flimsy story line of the film where a employee of Paul's comes up missing and was to deliver the master tapes of a brand new album, if they cannot locate the tapes for delivery to the Factory, then a loan-shark gets control of the company and will bankrupt Paul. It's enjoyable to follow along and keeps the flim going forward. There are many "dream" scenes that I really enjoyed. Time has aged this Movie EXTREMELY well! It's sad that George Harrison didn't have a cameo in it, seeing it was just 3 years or so after John's death, it would have really cemented this film as a true classic. I think this movie should be aired once a year like the "Wizard of Oz" or any classical movie. Kids will love this light-hearted film and the songs are just great!
This style of movie just isn't made any more. It's made in the classic style of Musical's, a lost art form for sure.
I 100% loved this movie and could sit back down and watch it again (I prob will in a few days, if not just for some of the songs).
This DVD doesn't have 5.1 sound, but it does have 4.0 surround sound and comes through very well in my 5.1 system, The mixes on the songs are great, great fidelity and separation of instruments.
Buy this and you will enjoy this McCartney-Ringo classic!

A Question...
Very glad to have it by "Give my Regards to Broad Street". The film is worth four spectacular classics and their studio versions with excellent audio (4.0 Dolby Surround): Yesterday, For No One, Here, There & Everywhere and Eleanor Rigby. Then come other songs by Paul McCartney as a soloist, among which Silly Love Songs stands out. The widescreen differs from the full screen depending on the quality and size of your television. The red band must be placed downwards. It is simply a collector's item worth having. Thank you very much.
