Nowhere Boy

John: "Why couldn't God have made me Elvis?"
Julia: "Because he was saving you for John Lennon."

I saw the previews for this on the Easy A dvd.  Strange, I never watch the previews, but this caught my eye. It's the story of John Lennon's adolescence. I don't think it ever came out in theaters in the states, but I Netflix'd it. Here's what I thought: (keep in mind that I know absolutely nothing about John Lennon or the Beatles.)
I can honestly say that I enjoyed it. Specifically, I loved the dialogue. Very witty and sarcastic, and it had a very real aspect to it, with the family drama. Apparently, Lennon was raised by his aunt, and when he started spending time with his real mother, the two fought over his attention. It has some questionable content, such as language and sex.


side note: Aaron Johnson actually learned to play the guitar and sang for the movie. All the music is actually him playing.
