Like any Beatles composition, there are a couple of profound moments among the fun
Like “Groundhog Day” or “Bruce Almighty”, “Yesterday” gets most of its humour from the supernatural conceit, rather than its characters. The chemistry between ardent Jack and bashful Ellie is enough to keep the plot interesting, as the burgeoning superstar tries to win her over. But it would not carry a film without the Beatles premise. Nor does the patter among Jack’s friends and family produce much hilarity.
It is that sort of riffing on the Fab Four’s work that produces most of the laughs. When Jack first plays “Yesterday” to his friends, one of them remarks that it is hardly as good as Coldplay. His parents refer to his new piano ballad as “Leave It Be”. Jack himself struggles to remember what exactly Eleanor Rigby was doing in the church—a challenge that even Beatles aficionados will find tricky without looking up the lyrics.
