A lot of it just seemed forced for the sake of the lyrics, like the “Prudence” character – she was completely unnecessary to the main plot and only thrown in so they could add a few songs. Or the fact that there happened to be a band in the story so whenever they wanted to use a song that didn’t fit the main plot (and they couldn’t make up another unnecessary character for it), they could just have the band play it.

I know it must have been difficult to come up with a story that would involve only Beatles songs but I think my point is, they shouldn’t have attempted it in the first place. Anytime you try to create a story out of pre-existing songs – songs which are unrelated to each other and therefore trying to make them related to the same story is going to seem forced and unrealistic.

Plus, the psychedelic scenes… I understand they were just trying to portray the times but enough already, it’s difficult to appreciate scenes like that unless you ARE high (as proven by another member’s review who recommends that everyone watch it while high).
