Watched online, ok print.

21 songs in the Soundtracks, 10 Written and Performed by John Lennon.

IMDb trivia: "Inspired by the story of singer Steve Tilston, who learned of the existence of a letter that John Lennon had written to him 34 years after the letter was written."

I liked this film. None of the conflicts were traumatic, none of the resolutions were easy or pat. Obviously good cast, and they performed well.

1st (of 2 so far) directing efforts for this writer of Tangled ('10), other kid-flicks and a variety of genres (13 released so far).

Rated 7.0 (27,076)
