The happy hysteria--or total insanity--that was Beatlemania is brilliantly evoked in this charming, entertaining 1978 movie from director Robert Zemeckis (Back to the Future, Forrest Gump) and executive producer Steven Spielberg. It's February 1964. The Fab Four are making their first trip to America, and four Jersey girls (plus a couple of reluctant boys) are determined to get face to face with them--at their hotel, at their historic appearance on Ed Sullivan's TV show, or otherwise. They do so with varying degrees of success, and in ways that are amusing and clever, as are the depictions of the Beatles themselves (the real Fabs appear only in archival footage; in the film, their stand-ins are seen only from the back, from the waist down, and so on). Best of all, the soundtrack is filled with actual Beatle music. This one's an unexpected treat. --Sam Graham

Not bad but could have been better........2007-06-05

I remembered seeing this movie on cable a few years back and while browsing the aisles of my video store I was happy to see it on DVD. The movie is entertaining on many levels, it captures a pretty descent mood of the times and all the Beatle music in the movie helps as well. I liked seeing Murray The K, the New York Disc Jockey who was called "the 5th Beatle" in the movie. What I didn't like was the language in the movie, it's too bad that a movie that is supposed to capture an innocent time in our memories was filled with lots of bad language, had they changed that it could have been a great family movie.

The Beatles are back!!!.......2007-03-09

For those who were around when Beatlemania exploded in America, a flood of memories will come back to you when you see this movie. Anyone who was interested as to what it was like back in the early 60's when The Beatles landed, this is a perfect movie to buy. I must warn you, it has an `R' rating. When I saw it on TV, it was watered down. The movie has been totally restored, and the sound track is fantastic. The four people hired to portray The Beatles in the movie do an excellent job bringing the Fab Four to the screen. The ending performance is priceless. To see Will Jordan impersonating Ed Sullivan again makes this movie a perfect addition to your movie collection. If you love The Beatles, you will definitely love this movie.

BEATLE FEST.......2007-01-17

IF YOU ARE A BEATLE FAN THIS IS A MUST SEE. ITS FUN AND THE MUSIC CAN'T BE BEAT

Why isn't this on DVD ?.......2006-08-02

Especially being a Robert Zemeckis film.
Well, what are you waiting for ?

Eddie Deezen - why isn't this guy a big(ger) star ?

I'm still waiting for "American Hot Wax" on DVD - and this is a close second.

I can't watch VHS anymore - who can ?

Relive the glory days of Beatlemania!.......2005-09-15

Take a quick trip back to 1964. The place is New York City and the setting is the Beatles on Ed Sullivan. That halcyon time of innocence and gaity, screaming mobs of female (and male) fans and that paragon of early TV, Ed Sullivan, who brought entertainment into the lives of ordinary Americans every Sunday Night. Six teenagers from New Jersey descend upon New York City to meet their idols, the Beatles. It is a bit wild, very funny and sometimes poignant.
