The Beatles vanish from history and only one lame singer-songwriter remembers them. Curtis’s romantic fantasy misses every opportunity for originality or to say anything remotely interesting about music. The cast is fine, but magical realism requires a light touch and this movie is helmed by the directorial sledgehammer Danny Boyle.
