Littlestar and I just watched Across the Universe.
It's a terrible, terrible film.
Visually beautiful, yet terrible. Our consensus description is "A poor man's Forrest Gump done through the filter of High School Musical."
You can read an interesting, pre-release view of the mess that led to this cinematic disaster in this LA Weekly piece.
It's as if the point of the movie were to take each Beatles song individually out into a field and kill it. It's bizarre.
So yeah, we weren't fond of it.
