Editorial Review: Amazon.com: Since many movie depictions of famous figures are cringe-worthy, it is pleasant to report that Two of Us creates a smart, informed, and intimate portrait of two music gods. This made-for-TV feature is a fictional speculation about a day in 1976 when Paul McCartney popped into John Lennon's New York apartment by surprise. With Yoko away on business, it's just the two giants spending a day together--bickering, goofing, toking, and eventually coming to a bittersweet reconciliation. There are awkward TV-movie moments, and some psychobabble, but the film respects its characters too much to round them off into simpletons. Director Michael Lindsay-Hogg made Let It Be, so he could draw on first-hand experience, and Jared Harris and Aidan Quinn are totally committed to their roles. For an even better speculative Beatles film, check out The Hours and Times, a superb study of Lennon and Beatles manager Brian Epstein. --Robert Horton Average Rating:
 Rating: - Great movie :)You know, I'm not really even a beatles fan, but I thought the movie was great. Rating:  - Not badA decent "what if" film about Macca and Lennon. It is pretty well made for a VH1 movie, but there are some cheesy parts. Don't be fooled by the high rating here. This is not a great film by any means...It's not bad either. Just don't get your hopes up. If you don't expect much, you will probably enjoy it. If you are expecting a great film, you will probably be disappointed. Rating: - Thoroughly Superb!As Edward Bloom (Albert Finney) says on his deathbed -- in Tim Burton's movie "Big Fish" -- as his son, William, finishes describing his father's death to him -- Edward smiles at Will and says that's exactly how it happens and dies. If you have seen "Big Fish" this may make sense...if you have not seen "Big Fish" what's keeping you?! "Two of Us" deals with the themes and issues that many Beatles fans may want to know about or interact with, and the film does an ...

In point of fact, this and other "you are there" movies require a suspension of disbelief in order to give the events a degree of plausibility. Although it was difficult for me to shake the notion that this movie was a complete and utter fantasy, I decided to enjoy it at face value. In reality, John and Paul did get together in April, 1976, during the "Wings Over America" tour. ... Read More Rating: - Crafted for the Beatles fan but brilliant.This is such a well made, well written movie that if you are a fan of The Beatles, you will watch it over and over again. In fact, it is so pleasant to watch, you wish it really did happen. No one really knows what happened when Paul rang up John and Joko's pad on that day in 1976, but I'm sure it was not so wonderful as this movie would suggest. It is best to treat this film as 'fiction' and go on daydreaming about how Paul and John could've been close friends again in the post-Beatles era. Read More Browse for similar items by category:
