I have an idea for a movie where Limmy wakes up in a world where Limmy has never existed. Naybidy has ever heard of Limmy (except Limmy because he's Limmy). So Limmy starts doing all Limmy's material and everybody goes, "This guy Limmy's amazin!". It's a work in progress..
@@Golkfyerick The premise alone was enough to convince people worldwide to go see it en masse, as lazy as that might seem, it really depends how you define a "good idea"
@Golkfyerick I think it's a strong idea. Good hook, loads of potential for character work and themes about nostalgia, cultural heritage, creativity, etc... I get we're all cynical and superior here, but it is a solid idea even if a little obvious.
@@pudmuddleLOL what are you talking about! What a BS story. Was Snakes on a Plane a good enough premise to get people to go to the cinema "en mass"...as you say. It's dim nonsense for dim people.
Honestly for me what really took the piss was when the girl he likes dumps her current boyfriend, who’s been the nicest guy the whole film, for the main character, who’s a bit of an indecisive arsehole by the way and then just to make you not feel bad, this side character is completely fine about it and shacks up with this random background character who’s sprinkled throughout the film. It’s ridiculous. The main character is a lazy bastard and whines about his music yet he never makes any effort and he has no conflicting reason why he’s not with Lily James at all.
The film actually was completely rewritten by Richard Curtis, after the producers bought the original screenplay because they liked the premise. From what I've heard, the original script had a tragic ending.
I was hoping he ended up marrying Yoko Ono in the end.

I had a snidey copy when it came out, went to watch it, and within the first five minutes they mention that that poor little ginger sod Ed Sheeran is in it so I deleted it there and then. It was shaping up to be shit anyway.
Danny Boyle was a weird choice to direct that film. Adding weird Dutch angles to what should be flat comedy shots just made me do a "you'd be like that" Limmy face. And really obvious use of putting three or four people up against a green screen and trying to make it look like Wembley Stadium. Quite a naff film.
They took a very well discussed concept in the music world and REALLY made it very boring and generic Goodnight Sweetheart did a far better job And that LENNON thing at the end just made me feel physically sick
Writing this before listening to Limmy. Didn't see the point of the movie. You have no idea why everyone bar a select few have suddenly forgotten the Beatles existed nor is it made really clear why it's essential for the main character to bring their music to the masses, also these type of movies you need everything to be restored to how it was at the beginning cuz it shouldn't be about the world changing but the previously closed-minded central character making a journey of personal growth, like in Groundhog Day or even A Christmas Carol. Danny Boyle is an odd choice for the material and he adds his usual flourishes but he can't mask the film being another piece of Richard Curtis-scripted pap.
Everyone has forgotten the Beatles....except Jack....except there's a bit near the end when two or three other people clearly remember the Beatles and also there's no Oasis, cigarettes or Coke in this new reality. It's utter sh*te.
It is that very TYPICAL english type of production failing at trying to display Holywood MAGIC. Nothing the worse than an impersonation of something already shite
The film is vomit-inducing. Cringe-fest. It seems to me as though a lot of people have no appreciation for music production. A great cover should offer something very different from the original. I Feel for You is a good example. Why the hell would I want to be subjected to a film of dreadful covers of genius songs which had the Beatles' and George Martin's original production? The Beatles don't need this kind of promotion. The keyboard player in my band - also a Beatles fan - recommended this film to me. We've sacked him. If you want a Beatles experience, watch the Get Back documentary, or Anthology from the mid nineties, or A Hard Day's Night, Help!, Magical Mystery Tour or Yellow Submarine.
sometimes I wish they hadn't been around, instead of being force fed their music all the time growing up and being told they're the best thing since slice bread responsible for anything that ever happened every 5 minutes you know, I think they're a good band btw but come on🙄....
@@LucyStarQueennot really, I mean yes kind of but all those 60s bands did + they were into rock and roll and the blues then influenced a lot of groups, like the stones the who etc then by the 70s t rex and bowie and punk took things in a different direction and influenced new romantics and new wave and then synth and people like Kraftwork had a huge influence on them and the 80s and stuff as well as metal influencing hair metal etc then you move into rap and hip hop influencing house and electro music from the 90s, the only time 60s bands had any influence again was on britpop really....
The musical evolution they went through in the short span of 7-8 years has never been matched since, going from I Wanna Hold Your Hand to Strawberry Fields in the span of 3 years...plus the fact it all happened in their early-mid 20s... In fact they were all still in their 20s when they broke up. So many great songs written by McCartney and Lennon during their prime years and a few by Harrison later on, no song every sounded the same, every song was unique. They definitely created magic as a group which we have yet to see again.
I get frustrated with Limmys accent when he gets a bit spluttery and it's a high concept he's on about and I'm triggered to fuck about it. I actually in these moments hate his accent and accuse him of accentuating it. Outloud to myself.
Limmy wakes up in a world where Cilla Black no longer exists, he tries to convince us all that he is the originator of “Lollipop Pat”.
That would be a surprise
How about that
It's like if someone took Wrong Way Down a One Way Street and made an earnest film about it
Earnest Saves Christmas was a personal favourite of mine
"That was the devil??" would be great to have a character say all the time in a movie
It's a film that just make you cringe every 5 minutes. It's painful
@@nailmcnugget9284 A "solid idea" I hear LOL. Phil Redmond could write/produce better.
Up there with Sliding Doors where a big gawky guy from East Kilbride gets his hole off of Gwyneth Paltrow by quoting Monty Python.
Gah, I wish Limmy would have got an actual rage on over this film. I still need the catharsis from the horror of watching it about 4 years ago.
Sounds like an episode of Goodnight Sweetheart with Rodney off Only Fools And Horses.
😂
I used to watch that. It was ok
@@HALFSQUASHEDSo did I. I remember Rodders performing Beatles songs was a running joke.
The true story of a time travelling adulterer.
insert wrong way down a one way street reference

This is the story of Limmy visiting England (add some bits where Southern English folk say 'Oi carn't tewl wot dat scotch perswon iz soiyin')
Limmy discovers suspension of disbelief
Pete Best loves the film.
needs a sequel. along the same lines, but instead it's Lawnmower Deth that never existed.
I would change this film by not having it ever be created
I was glad to see Eric Cantona at the end, living a reclusive life, but alive
Danny Boyle has gone off the boil.
One of his only flops tbf
I want to see a version of this where GG Allin never existed
The John Lennon scene in this movie made me cringe so hard I wanted to walk out of the theater right then
Not at all realistic. He wasn’t even beating his wife in that scene.
@@PresidentHotdog No that's why he had to live in that lonely house in the middle of nowhere. Because he got ran out of town re: lassie-bashin'
It's a really good idea for a film, ruined
How is it a good idea for a film? It's more like a lazy idea for a film.

Age of stupid
Richard Curtis allegedly nicked this script from one he’d been sent - just like he made a mashup of scripts he’d been sent, to make ‘Love, Actually’.
He didn't nick it. He was commissioned to rewrite it after the producers acquired the rights to the original. The writer got paid.
it's like a sketch about a guy writing a song about going down a one way street, and it going viral
It was a nice feel good film not a blockbuster but I enjoyed it.
Honestly for me what really took the piss was when the girl he likes dumps her current boyfriend, who’s been the nicest guy the whole film, for the main character, who’s a bit of an indecisive arsehole by the way and then just to make you not feel bad, this side character is completely fine about it and shacks up with this random background character who’s sprinkled throughout the film.

I enjoyed it, the dude acting JL was great
Jeez this!!! Been out ages too! I pretended i hadn't seen it when my friend was telling me about how great it was. Shame on me too :/
Just ends with a big custard pie in his face and then the credits come up.
So its a movie length wrong way up a one way street
The film actually was completely rewritten by Richard Curtis, after the producers bought the original screenplay because they liked the premise. From what I've heard, the original script had a tragic ending.
Thinking Beatles songs would get attention in today’s music landscape is so delusional. Oasis maybe, but even that would be an uphill battle
Yer feather would be proud. I'd pay to go see "The Fuckin' Beatles".
I was hoping he ended up marrying Yoko Ono in the end.
I had a snidey copy when it came out, went to watch it, and within the first five minutes they mention that that poor little ginger sod Ed Sheeran is in it so I deleted it there and then. It was shaping up to be shit anyway.
LIMMY, YA WEE B######.....👶
That's a Great Song 'HEY DUDE'🎸
for a film called Yesterday the main character doesn't even get in touch with Paul.
Your fither would be proud.
It might have been better if it was Carter USM that didn't exist.
Danny Boyle was a weird choice to direct that film. Adding weird Dutch angles to what should be flat comedy shots just made me do a "you'd be like that" Limmy face. And really obvious use of putting three or four people up against a green screen and trying to make it look like Wembley Stadium. Quite a naff film.
Stellar job
He comes back to the normal beatles reality but vaugn Williams never existed that could have left it open for a sequel.
It’s just a rip of the end of Hot Tub Time Machine.
How did Limmy not mention Robert Carlisle in this movie either 😂😂
or the Ed Sheeran part lol
@@AkyovNorthWest part? half the fucking film more like lol
They took a very well discussed concept in the music world and REALLY made it very boring and generic
Goodnight Sweetheart did a far better job
And that LENNON thing at the end just made me feel physically sick
5 star review
Come on, the John Lennon bit alone was fantastic.
that was the worst bit. Awful to watch
Jesus Chubby, you are very wrong.

Cigarettes and coke are one thing but I couldn't do without my citrus punch.
It is that very TYPICAL english type of production failing at trying to display Holywood MAGIC.
Nothing the worse than an impersonation of something already shite
Funny how no one notices the obvious Propaganda with this movie.
go on
Come again?
@@awsometomable The write off with Ed Sheeran was propaganda to make us believe Ed Sheeran is the worlds best songwriter.
@@awsometomable kalergi plan
Nae spoilers!
This was a waste of time then.
awful film, even though im a massive beatles fan
Everyone forgets The Beatles song catalogue except for one Indian. Sounds like a nightmare world.

The John Lennon scene is very cringy...😒
Ironically I love that movie but hate the Beatles. The song covers in that film are actually better than the originals in my opinion.
sometimes I wish they hadn't been around, instead of being force fed their music all the time growing up and being told they're the best thing since slice bread responsible for anything that ever happened every 5 minutes you know, I think they're a good band btw but come on🙄....
They're even better than that.
I mean they did influence pretty much every band that came after them
@@LucyStarQueennot really, I mean yes kind of but all those 60s bands did + they were into rock and roll and the blues then influenced a lot of groups, like the stones the who etc then by the 70s t rex and bowie and punk took things in a different direction and influenced new romantics and new wave and then synth and people like Kraftwork had a huge influence on them and the 80s and stuff as well as metal influencing hair metal etc then you move into rap and hip hop influencing house and electro music from the 90s, the only time 60s bands had any influence again was on britpop really....

That sounds like a yoooousesese prablum
He never really acts up the accent if he's annoyed. If anything, he puts on the posh Glaswegian when he is annoyed by sumin 😅
Doesn’t everyone do that?
Is James Corden in it?
