YESTERDAY EVERYONE KNEW THE BEATLES. TODAY, ONLY JACK REMEMBERS THEIR SONGS. HE’S ABOUT TO BECOME A VERY BIG DEAL.

After getting hit by a bus during a global blackout, struggling singer-songwriter Jack Malik (Himesh Patel) wakes up only to learn that no one has ever heard of the Beatles or their songs. Now, there’s a golden opportunity, as Jack becomes a worldwide sensation taking credit for every Beatles song he can remember. But what happens when he begins to feel like a fraud – and will he get the girl? The Richard Curtis formula is like a security blanket, for better or worse, and one wishes the filmmakers shook things up a little more… but while you’re watching, all your troubles seem so far away.
