What Parents Need to Know

About A Hard Day's Night

Parents need to know that this is a great way to introduce your kids to the Beatles -- or just enjoy their glory days together as a family. Aside from some Paul's naughty grandfather and some brief drug-related humor, there's very little iffy content here, so just focus on singing along with the soundtrack.

    LOVED THE MOVIE

    LOVE THIS FILM! The Best Beatles film!!! A must watch! I loved the movie, music, humor, plot, and everything that there is to the movie. Shows George, Paul, Ringo, and John having a blast, breaking the rules, and having fun. GENIUS!

    Simply, One Of The Greats...

    BEATLES! Yes, yes... One of the most influential, great films of the '60s. The only "iffy" bits were that they all run from the law (it's a misunderstanding), and near the beginning John is sniffing "coke." (This was a improvisation by him - he's sniffing a bottle of Pepsi.) The latter will probably go over kid's heads... Heck, it went over my head until my friend pointed it out. Also, the whole thing can kind of be seen as a commersial for Beatles, but that really isn't a problem as they don't really need commersials right now. In closing, wonderful film. Very funny.
