All Together Now (2011) - 5 stars out of 10

"All Together Now" combines two interesting subject matters into one.  This chronicling of the Cirque du Soleil show "LOVE," based on the music of the Beatles, takes us behind the scenes of one of the most complex productions in the world.  At the same time, it lets us see the reactions of Paul McCartney and Ringo Starr to this unique interpretation of their body of work.  I never liked Ringo before watching this documentary, but it gave me an opportunity to get to know his personality and hear some of his stories from the Beatles' golden age.  Yoko Ono is incredibly annoying and grumpy, constantly complaining that the production staff does not understand John Lennon's music and that they are ruining it.  But nobody likes Yoko so it's easy to tune her out.  If you've never seen a Cirque show, this is a great chance to see what it is all about and be amazed by the acrobatics of this ensemble.  It wasn't the best documentary I've ever seen but if you love the Beatles, you will love to see Paul and Ringo and this new interpretation of their music.
