I was quite pleasantly surprised by ACROSS THE UNIVERSE, as I am not a big fan of The Beatles. I resisted seeing this in the theatres for fear it was too Beatles-centric.
While the film isn't perfect, it's flaws are easily forgiven by the amount of heart that comes across, and the homage to the spirit of the period. It's actually quite magical, and this is one I wouldn't mind having in my DVD collection. And now I'm regretting not seeing it on the big screen.
I really enjoyed her vocals. The cast in general has good chemistry and seems to have enjoyed the experience of making the film. I was especially impressed with Dana Fuchs channelling the spirit of Janis Joplin.
