Sir Paul McCartney plays himself in another exaggerated "Day In the Life". Included are fictional scenes of the star preparing to film two videos, rehearsing in a loft, playing for the BBC, and even dreaming up a rather horrific nightmare. A loosely developed plot about missing master tapes ties all of these events together. —Ed Chen <echen@bcm.tmc.edu>

Trivia
To film the part where Sir Paul McCartney dreams himself as a poor man playing guitar on the street for some food money, McCartney really did play on the street disguised in filthy clothes. He received real money from passersby.

Goofs
During the flashback where Paul remembers Harry leaving, with great fanfare, for the Broadstreet Station (tapes in hand) there is a crew member's head poking out from behind the grand staircase, right side.

Quotes
Ringo: [rehearsing in a warehouse] Do you think you could get some heat in here, or are we practicing to be Canadians?

Not for every Beatles fan

I don't like reviews that take the liberty of speaking for me. Most of the previous reviews say things like, 'if you're a Beatles fan, you'll love this movie'; or 'this movie is for every McCartney fan,' etc.

I may be the biggest Beatles fan in the state and probably the biggest Paul McCartney fan in the country, but the fact remains that this movie is terrible. It's just plain boring, no two ways about it.

Two of the three new songs, "No Values" and "Not Such a Bad Boy" are mediocre at best. The script drags, the acting is sub-par, and the plot is uninteresting.

The only part I liked was when Paul was buskin' it on the street with his guitar, a glimpse of how easy music comes to him. That's also my favorite version of "Yesterday." I wish I could get it on CD.

Paul is the best, but Give my Regards to Broadstreet is garbage. Not every Beatles fan will enjoy it. This one didn't.
