Yesterday

The feel good movie of the summer is “Yesterday”, from the director who brought us “Slumdog Millionaire”. The plot is pretty far fetched, but fun. A down on his luck musician blacks out when. the world has a power outage and when he awakens the no one knows who the Beatles are. He plays their songs and becomes a superstar, all the time being told what a genius he is for writing such incredible songs. Himesh Patel plays the musician who is dumbfounded by his success. His British Pakastani family is adorable and his friend/girlfriend, played by Lily James, is also wonderful. Kate McKinnon plays his money hungry agent. They pull off the far fetched plot and of course the music is amazing. I really loved this movie and will probably see it again. It is that enjoyable.
