This film is truly horrible. The 'script' could have been written by a ten-year old, the 'plot' is toe-curlingly, embarrassingly, pitiful, and the Beatles couldn't act to save their lives. Many of the shots are pointless, and I include the musical sequences. At least the songs are as good as you'd expect, highlights being 'You've Got To Hide Your Love Away', 'The Night Before', and of course the title track. The film does achieve something though. It makes the later TV series featuring The Monkees look like masterpieces of visual entertainment, and that's no mean feat. Avoid at all costs - just stick to the music. It's what they did best.
