Jacey Bedford's Journal

This was a really sweet movie. Jack is a struggling singer songwriter playing gigs to three people and the landlord's dog. His manager (schoolteacher and long time friend) is still driving him to gigs and they are both hoping for the big time - though neither knows how to make it happen. While Jack is cycling home one night, all the lights (all over the world) go out for a few secoinds and Jack is hit by a bus. When he comes round in hospital it seems as though he's sideslipped into an alternate reality. No one has ever heard of the Beatles or their songs. Jack, accidentally at first, capitalises on this, becoming famous in the process, and feeling ever more guilty about it until he meets someone special. No, that's not the love of his life, she's been there all along. He just needs to open his eyes.

So yes, it's a musical, and a love story, and a love letter to the Beatles/Lennon-McCartney.

And if you're sitting on the back row amidst an audience of ladies of a certain age, then why shouldn't you sing along with the end credits. Oh, yeah!
