Jude (Jim Sturgess) and Lucy (Evan Rachel Wood), along with a small group of friends and musicians, are swept up into the emerging anti-war and counterculture movements with "Dr. Robert" (Bono) and "Mr. Kite" (Eddie Izzard) as their guides.

Summary: Not the Soundtrack
Comment: If you have seen the movie and love the soundtrack,don't buy this CD--it leaves out too much. Buy the deluxe edition. The music is great but you keep anticipating the next song in the movie and you are constantly disappointed. This shouldn't be called a soundtrack or at least it should have "ABRIDGED" stamped on it.

Customer Rating:

Summary: Great adaptation of Beatle music
Comment: If you liked this movie, you will certainly like the c.d. New, updated versions of great Beatle classics. Talented young artists give the songs new life.

Customer Rating:

Summary: spare me
Comment: Awful. Just awful. This just doesn't do justice to the originals. And the movie wasn't much better. People need to learn - you can't remake The Beatles.

Customer Rating:

Summary: DREADFUL!
Comment: Dont waste your time and money on this filth. Cheesy garage bands trying to cover songs by the best band ever. Do yourself a favor and go buy Beatles songs. Also notice that teenagers are the ones responsible for all the positive reviews on this dreaded filth.

Summary: Incomplete Soundtrack a Downer
Comment: I just picked up the soundtrack for the movie--I would not, knowing the track listing now, pay full price for it. Alot of my favorites from the movie aren't in this version of the soundtrack, which must have either been a poor decision or brilliant marketing to make people pick up the deluxe version as well. Be warned to check out what you're actually buying here.

That being said, the movie and sountrack are both good enough, if you're a fan of the Beatles it's a neccesity to see and hear, if not, It's along the lines of a visually tamer Moulin Rouge. Some of the songs are really amazingly well done, while some of them seem like they were forced in (especially while watching the movie).
