There have been plenty of biographies and stories written about John Lennon, the world renown English musician and singer-songwriter, most notably known as one of the founding members of The Beatles.

But while books have covered the difficulties that John Lennon had faced during his teenage years, no one really had details of his life. All we have heard was how he didn't have a mother, how he got into a lot of trouble and used that teenage angst to form the quarrymen, his first band which led him to one of the greatest musical collaborations and that was Lennon and Paul McCartney meeting, which followed with musician George Harrison joining them and of course, going on to Hamburg, Germany where along with Stuart Sutcliffe and Pete Best would go on to create the band, The Beatles (at the time, were a five-member band).

But for those who wondered about John Lennon's life, especially being raised by his Aunt Mimi and his troubled relationship with his mother Julia, it was not until 1989 where Lennon's half sister Julia Baird would write the book "John Lennon, My Brother" written with Giuliano and featured a foreword by Paul McCartney. In 2007, she followed up with a second book titled "Imagine This - Growing Up with My Brother John Lennon".

In 2009, a film adaptation based on Julia Baird's biography was created. The 2009 British-Canadian biopic focused on John Lennon's adolescence, how he learned to play the guitar, the creation of this first band The Quarrymen and how he would meet Paul McCartney. But also details about his mother and his Aunt Mimi, who raised Lennon.

This movie didn't live up to my expectations. I love the Beatles and want to watch any movie about them, but this one about John Lennon growing up is really bad. You get confused to who really is his real mom and is the other just someone who adopted him or something. They finally make it clear at the end, but that sure was annoying. This movie gets pretty boring and will make you want to turn it off halfway through. I don't recommend buying this movie.

I saw this movie on tv and read John Lennons background on Wikipedia. This movie absolutely parallels his life. It was very accurate. My sis loves anything Beatles and was happy with this gift.

A great glimpse into the boy who would be John Lennon. Great acting and gut wrenching at times, if you are a fan of The Beatles, or just love a solid movie, check this one out.
