Majorthebys Charming and brutal

CommentsXp Best movie ever!

Lela The tone of this movie is interesting -- the stakes are both dramatic and high, but it's balanced with a lot of fun, tongue and cheek dialogue.

Yazmin Close shines in drama with strong language, adult themes.

gerrenp I agree with the post 9/11 argument but I also was not really impressed with all the performances. Until Yoko gets over the issues she has with the surviving Beatles this will continue. If you want to see a tribute concert done correctly, check out the Concert for George, not only did it have Paul and Ringo, it also has higher caliber talent. These concerts should not be made political(between the people involved..not government or causes)and more about the music. I just hope that one day the can do a tribute concert for John with acts such Paul and Ringo as well as other A-list talent. With the influence range of John's music I am just not impressed with the acts on this show.

martin_scarface ****SPOILERS INCLUDED**** I say this is a nice move to commemorate Lennon and the 9/11 victims, and it was well planned. I like Kevin Spacey's narration and the contributing narrations of other stars like Hoffman and Sobieski (she's hot). But I also took notice of the performances here and gave some reactions.The performances of Yolanda Adams/Billy Preston, Craig David, Sean Lennon/Rufus Wainwright/Moby, Cindy Lauper, Marc Anthony, Alanis Morisette and most especially Kevin Spacey are worth noting because they are presented with true artistic mastery. What made me hate this film sometimes are the performances of Natalie Merchant and Nelly Furtado which made me wish that Lennon was still alive and slap those two girls in the face.All in all, a nice presentation, but not as good as the Tribute To George.

luther1994 I'm so glad this show is out on DVD. I saw it when it originally aired, less than a month after 9/11, and it really moved me. Maybe it won't be quite the same if you view it at a later time, but for me it was moving to watch that night. I admit that it does get a little soapbox-ish, but I enjoyed the performances too much to concentrate on peoples' politics. Kevin Spacey rocked the house with his rendition of "Mind Games." He surprised and impressed me. One of my favorite songs of the evening was "Across the Universe." Hearing Sean Lennon's voice in that performance and seeing him standing up there was a little eerie but wonderful. John Lennon lives on...

CurlyGirl64 I have actually viewed this concert several times. Each of the performances is very good, even, surprisingly enough, Kevin Spacey's. The covers are faithfully and imaginatively done. While the Moby/Rufus Wainwright/Sean Lennon cover of "Across the Universe" would have been arguably better if Moby hadn't tried to sing bass, it was still enjoyable. The thing that irked me about this concert was the fact that it occurred just after 09/11. Instead of putting the focus on John Lennon's life and works (the original intent) it became a fundraising concert for one of the post-9/11 charities. The name escapes me. Not that there is a thing in the world wrong with raising funds for these charities, but if the concert is supposed to be a John Lennon tribute concert, it should be that.
