Review of Help!

Help! (1965)
3/10
So silly it's almost unwatchable
5 January 2008
Warning: Spoilers
Even by Beatles standards, this movie is so unbelievably silly, it's hard to watch at times. Yes, there are some fairly funny interactions and some fairly funny one-liners. The Beatles were always great at those. And, with a Beatles movie, you never expect much in the way of a plot anyway. But this one is so far over the top, it comes across as self-indulgent and self-aware.

Rent it if you want two hours of mindless entertainment (and not that much good Beatles music) -- but don't buy it. Unless you're a true-blue Beatles fan, you'll probably only want to sit through this silliness once.
