Pathetic. No resemblence to John Lennon whatsoever. And the accents are awful - more like East Londoners than proper scouse (Liverpool) accents. Don't waste your money - you'll be able to watch this POS on TV on ABC's 'movie of the week' 6 months from its theatre release. JWL must be turning in his grave.
