Anyone here who has it?

I found it last week, all the songs on it are Beatles covers and I must say that several of them are really good. Aimee Mann, Sarah McLachlan, the Crowded House guys, Ben Harper and Ben Folds even come close to the real thing I think. Ben Folds's "Golden slumbers" might even, yes, I dare say it, beat the original version...

So I'd say it's strongly recommended.

Beat the beatles? YOU ARE NUTTS! I thought the CD is good but not better then the beatles!

I don't have the soundtrack but I have the movie. Some of the versions were alright.

I haven't seen the movie, and I don't have the soundtrack, but the only song that I've heard it was on that soundtrack was Strawberry Fields Forever... the version was ok, but the original version is the best!

I only like beatles versions
Original versions are the best !

Cool down! I was only talking about the cover of "Golden slumbers", not the other songs...

Actually there are two Beatles covers that I've heard so far that I think might be better than the originals: "Golden slumbers" by Ben Folds, and "Across the universe" by Fiona Apple.

I know, in that last post I was talking about Beatles covers in general.

Naw, I don't think that soundtrack was all that hot. Movie was good though. Not as good as I thought it would be but it wasn't bad.

I think California dreamin by the mommas and the pappas was done better by the Beach boys.  hehe.

Only cover that I can think of right now that I like.

I liked the movie and the covers.  Don't worry Biscuit, It's not like you said Ben Fold's was better as a band.  Now that would be unforgivable.

Burn them at the stake!

never heard of this movie... what is it about?
As a rule i don't like Beatles songs sung by other persons

I've never seen the movie, I never even heard about it until I found the soundtrack cd in the Beatles section of a cd store.

It'a about a mentally retarded guy who's trying to regain custody of his young daughter, Lucy. They are both HUGE Beatles fans, and there are references littered thoughout the film! The movie itself is a real tear-jerker!

I think it's good to get another persective on The Beatles' songs - it opens them up to a whole new audience.

The movie wasn't that bad actually... I thought it would be better though..
