Description: E.M. Bristol4.0 out of 5 stars Hey dude, go see this movieReviewed in the United States on June 29, 2019Imagine a world where everyone but you had no knowledge of the Beatles. Struggling singer-songwriter Himesh Patel gets to live out this fantasy in the film which has a leisurely pace at times but some undeniably great songs.True story: Joshua Bell, after he had already established himself as a world famous violinist, performed an experiment where he hung out as an ordinary-seeming busker. Oddly enough, everyone hurried by him, unaware of the treat, except children who apparently picked up on the fact that something extraordinary was happening. Much the same occurs in "Yesterday," when Himesh performs Beatles songs to oblivious patrons of coffeehouses, no different from when he's playing his own music. At the film's start, Himesh has one loyal fan - his longtime friend Lily James - and is ready to give up his dream of making it big and going back to teaching. However, due to a worldwide blackout, Himesh wakes up in the hospital minus a few front teeth (having gotten into a bike accident) but with his knowledge of the Beatles intact. When he discovers that no one else (not even Google) has heard of them, he seizes the chance to appropriate their work.Though it takes awhile, eventually Himesh is approached by an enthusiastic guy offering to manage him, and then things begin taking off. Himesh outwrites Ed Sheeran (playing himself) in an impromptu songwriting contest, which is when he's noticed by Kate McKinnon (employing her usual manic energy) an American manager. Soon Himesh finds himself pursued by screaming fans wherever he goes, etc.Unfortunately, Himesh's new fame leaves Lily feeling unappreciated, so there's conflict there. Also Himesh (shadowed by a couple of strangers) begins to have qualms of conscience. When it looks like Himesh's secret knowledge may be shared by other people on the planet, even though initially this didn't seem the case, he is forced to decide whether or not to come clean. "Yesterday," is predictable, but it's a fun and sweet (and very clean) summer movie which the audience I saw it with clearly enjoyed.
