Yesterday

Nice guy Richard Curtis and visionary hooligan Danny Boyle team up for this love-letter to the Beatles. It’s a little more Curtis than Boyle, and therefore a bit soft. I’m surprised the lead guy didn’t play ping-pong with John Lennon at the end. For his part, Himesh Patel does a commendable job acting, singing, and playing the guitar. No small feat. Otherwise, it’s a perfectly nice family movie with a few laughs.
