In the follow-up to their successful debut musical, "A Hard Day's Night," the Beatles once again offer up a melding of song and slapstick. After Ringo stumbles upon a valuable gem, the band starts getting harassed by a fringe religious group. To escape their sudden stalkers, the boys hit the road. As John, Paul, George and Ringo travel the globe, they perform a mix of musical numbers, singing hits ranging from "Ticket to Ride" to the titular ditty.

Critics Consensus

Help! finds the Fab Four displaying their infectious charm and humor in an enjoyably madcap adventure.

For casual viewers, the whole thing has a retro charm. For Beatles fans, it's a flawed but essential film.

A Hard Day's Night may be more primitive, but it also seems more spontaneous.

New York Times

The boys themselves are exuberant and uninhibited in their own genial way. They just become awfully redundant and -- dare I say it? -- dull.

Rated: 2/5 •

Pauline Kael

McCall's

It is nothing but a chase, turning a structural device of early movies into the total substance, and without anywhere to go. Help! is all climax, but nothing is prepared for; finally it just exhausts itself and stops.

Help! is stylistically different from its predecessor but The Beatles sure know how to put on a performance.

Dwight MacDonald

Esquire Magazine

A witless orgy of expensive production that strangles the Beatles, so fresh and spontaneous in [A Hard Day's Night], in a laboriously foolish plot line and smothers them under tons of handsomely colored feathers.

This and "A Hard Day's Night (1964)" perfectly depict how much The Beatles were a huge thing. No matter how many years pass, people will still be talking about The Beatles in their impact in music and pop culture. With this film, it's a lot of fun, humorous, and innocent. I laughed too hard when I watched both this and "A Hard Day's Night (1964)." It's highly recommended for any Beatle fan. It surprisingly still holds up even after 60 years.

Por m谩s que tenga a los Beatles como protagonistas, la pel铆cula es bastante tonta. Todo es muy random e incoherente cuyo 煤nico enfoque es en la persecuci贸n por el anillo que porta Ringo. Los chistes son en su mayor铆a infantiles, con algunos pocos que apenas causan gracia, est谩n solo para rellenar, algunos son forzados o innecesarios y el humor es muy de dibujos animados. De las cosas positivas que se pueden rescatar son las canciones, alguna que otra escena como la del tigre y Paul encogi茅ndose tipo hombre menguante es bastante buena. La historia del anillo es fascinante, pero el guion es bastante malo y hasta como comedia no causa mucha gracia y puede tornarse aburrida. No es raro que se sepa poco de esta cinta, ya que es una de esas pel铆culas hechas para seguir explotando la fama de los artistas musicales al colocarlos en un territorio cinematogr谩fico del cual no tienen mucha experiencia. Help! es en conclusi贸n una mala y sonsa pel铆cula y por eso la califico con un 5/10.

Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars
