Nowhere Boy Review: Mad About The Boy

NOWHERE BOY: On General Release From 26th December 2009

Nowhere Boy chronicles the early life of musical legend and British icon, John Lennon.

Of course ‘before fame’ biopics wouldn’t work with every rock legend. I don’t think anyone is gonna pay to see ‘Jon Bon Jovi: The Early Years’.

While towards the end of his life the world knew him as a long-haired hippy lying in bed and waiting for peace, in his teen year it appears he was quite the wild child. Before the Beatles, before the bowl haircut and…before Yoko.

Matt Greenhalgh’s script shows us the rebellious, blokey side of Lennon including drinking, girls and a smoking habit that would put a lung cancer ward to shame. Do It!
