Nowhere Boy

Imagine... John Lennon's childhood. Liverpool 1955: a smart and troubled fifteen year-old is hungry for experience. In a family full of secrets, two incredible women clash over John: Mimi, the buttoned-up Aunt who raised him, and Julia, the prodigal mother. Yearning for a normal family, John escapes into the new and exciting world of rock n' roll where his fledgling genius finds a kindred spirit in the teenage Paul McCartney. Just as John begins his new life, tragedy strikes. But a resilient young man finds his voice - and an icon explodes into the world.


This is another one of those just kind of there movies. There really is not much to write about it at all. Its not too good. Its not too bad. Its just there. There are a couple of cool connections shown on how the Beatles started and I had high hopes for the kid playing John Lennon after his turn in Kick-Ass, but there really wasn't much to the movie.


I wouldn't really recommend anyone bothering to check this out. Its really not worth the time or money. You'd probably be better off just waiting for it to randomly show up on cable.
