 The Most Accurate Parody Ever Made May 11, 2008
I don't know how they ever did this with such a straight face, this movie parodies the Beatles to a "Tea"(lol). If you havn't seen this film , make sure you see any Docu.. on the Beatles you can get your hands on, you will be in stiches.
BEST ROCUMENTRY EVER May 2, 2008

The Rutles "All You Need is Cash" is the first great Rock documentry parody and there are still few equals. It is better than "Mighty Wind" and Walk Hard" with "This is Spinal Tap" the only real peer. I grew up loving the Beatles, and now I can't take them seriously. This film reminds us how willing we are to heap our adulation on young beautiful people, and how we project greater talent on those people than they really have. Face it, the Beatles can't hold a candle to Mozart, Beethoven or Bach. In the future they will be remembered only as the first commercial global hysteria induced by mass marketing.
You will laugh and laugh and laugh.
The interviews with Jagger are especially hilarious, mainly because they come so close to the truth.
I bought the Soundtrack, and now I listen to it to the exclusion of all Beatles songs. Dirk, Nasty, Stig and Barry are my new pop idols. Stig is my favorite; who's yours?
 Oh, Honestly March 26, 2008
The Rutles is a guilty pleasure. It's full of campy jokes and predictable humor, but it's irresistible. The more a viewer knows about the Beatles and the British Invasion, the funnier this film will be. Set aside any critical pretensions and just enjoy.
It was certainly their tight pants December 31, 2007
I love the Beatles and have followed them since 1964
when I saw "A Hard Day's Night" on a double bill with
"Fairy Cross the Mersey". Like Elvis before them, these fellows just sort of fell into it. The movie shows you that the music they started with wasn't all that good or original. Bob Dylan was original.
So why these strange British poor guys made good is
just one of those historical musical wonders.
That they actually did become good is the other...
