Across the Universe: *** (out of a possible **** stars)

Surprisingly entertaining for a musical, the cast does a good job at re-creating Beatles classics in a new and fun way. It was also a pleasant surprise that they were able to do a movie about the 1960's -‘70's hippie revolution without bombarding us with sex and drugs. Most of that lifestyle was simply implied in the film rather than shown, and I say kudos to that. Bono looks cool with a mustache and sideburns.
