very funny movie. i thought it was going to be dumb and silly, and... well... it was, but it was MUCH better than i was expecting.

the songs are great, and it riffs on "walk the line" nearly non-stop.

...and jenna fischer has never looked better.

The trailers look very funny, I'll probably get to see it when it shows on cable.

JUST saw it this Xmas afternoon. Very entertaining!
The Beatles scene: Hilarious! Jack Black playing Paul, Sascha Baron Cohan as John lennon...Oh, Man!

And the actress from "The Office" who plays Darlene- cool!

Well-paced, Dewey Cox is hilarious, and the whole concept...

F-U-N=N-Y!!!

Everytime I see a sink, I have the urge to completely flip out.

I went in thinking it would be pretty bad, but it was absolutely hilarious. I couldn't breathe for the first 10 minutes of the movie.

I've talked to some of my friends who saw it but didn't like it at all, but the humor was right up my alley.

"Now, I'm cut in half pretty good, so in case I don't make it-"
"You're gonna make it!!"

LOVED this movie. Damn good music, too. Could've done without the penis shots, though.
Jenna Fischer... schwing!

Paul Rudd, not S.B.C.

But yeah, the Beatles bit was one of the funniest things ever.

If you are into the history of music at all, then yes.

It's a certain type of humor so you will either love it or think it is incredibly stupid.

I'm eager to see it, even before I learned that Jenna Fischer is in it.

The Beatles scene was great.

George: "I haven't written much lately. All I've got is a song called While My Guitar Somberly Sleeps."
Ringo: "I wrote a song about an octopus."
John to Paul: "I wonder if I'll still hate you when I'm 64."

I really liked this movie.
