Movie: Greatest Days

My phone company Elisa sent me an email last week saying that I could watch five movies for free. One of those movies was even on my watch list: the Take That musical Greatest Days.

Then one night I remembered that that movie is only available until Sunday. And then on Friday I watched it.

Greatest days is about friends who were big Take That fans as teens. And in the present, they meet again when one of them wins tickets to the reunion concert.

Greatest days has received bad reviews. Its budget was lower than desired because Take That was never successful in the US, and therefore no funding came from there.

 

 

Some people have not liked the movie's versions of the songs, but I really liked them. There were both my favorite song (Never forget) and my least favorite (Back for good), and everything in between. The best part is recognizing the songs. Great music. Fortunately, the entire soundtrack of the movie can be found on YouTube. I also liked Take That's new version of the song Greatest day, I've never liked the original much.

In one scene, Take That even had a cameo, or the trio that is left of the band. As buskers begging for pennies, very funny.

 

Then we need a NKOTB-musical...
