Plot: 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<...( read more read more... )/I>) 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

    Even if you're not a Beatlemaniac, as long as you've ever known what it's like to be a crazed fangirl/fanboy in your life, this film will bring back all those fond memories. Real fun to watch, especially with friends who can totally relate.

    Again, I'm not a huge fan of The Beatles but the passion and near-madness they provoked was surely unique. "I Wanna Hold Your Hand" conveys this feeling easily and delightfully, with a great look, an obviously great soundtrack and fun performances.

    I love that Robert Zemekis really puts a new twist on Beatlemania, and the results are utterly hiarous.

    I watched this movie at like 2 in the morning, and i fell in love with it. Trying to meet bands is something my friends and I try to do. It was just a really funny and exciting movie.

    Robert Zemeckis' directing debut is a funny and high enjoyable film set in 1964 about a group teenagers set off to see the Beatles performing on the "Ed Sullivan Show" and missaventures they have along the way. The cast are all good and the script is clever. A fun good film with a great soundtrack.
