    The time is 1964, and the Beatles, already a hugely popular group, are about to go on the Ed Sullivan Show for the first time, an appearance that launched them into a worldwide phenomenon. Already, girls are fainting during their concerts from sheer excitement at being in the same theater with them. Pam Mitchell (Nancy Allen) is happy enough to be getting married but wants to bed one of the "Fab Four" before she does. Grace Corrigan (Theresa Saldana), a dedicated fan, is certain that if she can get some exclusive photos of the Beatles, her career as a photographer will be secured. And then there are two people who feel that the future of civilization as we know it depends on their efforts to ruin the Beatles' appearance on Ed Sullivan's show. In this madcap comedy, when these people (and others besides) descend on the New York hotel the Beatles are staying in, things begin hopping. This comedy was Robert Zemeckis' first feature. A protégé of Stephen Spielberg, he went on to direct Forrest Gump, Back to the Future, and Who Framed Roger Rabbit? among other popular features. Clarke Fountain, All Movie Guide

    December 26, 2004: 'I Wanna Hold Your Hand' has the distinction of being Universal's lowest grossing picture ever. In 1978, America wasn't ready to wax nostalgic over 1964. But that was then. As low budget teen comedies go, the film really is quite good - as it should be, with Robert Zemeckis directing and Spielberg serving as executive producer. 'I Wanna Hold Your Hand' is a virtual February 1964 time capsule on DVD. Compare it side by side with 'The Wanderers', depicting the same New York City area in the Fall of 1963. It's simply stunning to see how much everything has changed in the span of just 100 days. A cultural revolution has taken over. For anyone too young to remember, it's the difference made by the assasination of President Kennedy, and the advent of four lads from Liverpool, who called themselves The Beatles.
