"Have you got any more songs?"
"One or two..."
With a simple story-driver - a struggling musician has an accident and wakes up in a world where no-one remembers The Beatles and passes off their songs as his own - Yesterday is a pleasant and easy watch. It's two main virtues are an utterly engaging central performance by the wonderful Himesh Patel and some wonderfully self-aware moments of comedy from Ed Sheeran playing himself, but overall this is a solid piece from both director Danny Boyle and writer Richard Curtis that never quite manages to be up there with the best films of either film-maker.
