"The music of the Beatles and the Vietnam War form the backdrop for the romance between an upper-class American girl and a poor Liverpudlian artist. (IMDb Pro; 2007)"

Synopsis :: [ ... ] Max, the charming and outgoing student from earlier, is on a roof with a few of his buddies as they chip golf balls off of a beer bottle at the nearby dormitory windows.

After a few misses, he finally connects - and the group flees the angry mob that spills out of the dorm. Jude, seeing the commotion while out having a cigarette in front of the building that his father is letting him stay in, lets Max slip in to hide. Grateful, Max invites Jude to go out for the night with himself and his golfing buddies.

While proclaiming that they get by "With a Little Help From My Friends," they smoke and drink their way through town until they finally collapse on couches from exhaustion.

Speaking of hitting golf balls off beer bottles from the roof and collapsing on couches from exhaustion -- Dubya Bush wasn't getting a shoe thrown at him, he was just ordering "Lunch" :: Dubll meat, horseradish and can of spinach walking Sub Sandwich ... why all the hipe?

Meanwhile, our story is interspersed with Beatle Songs: [ ... ] Jude hides from the police, and after being left alone on the roof, starts singing "All You Need Is Love" into the microphone. Sadie, JoJo, Prudence, Max, and the rest all rush back up to the roof, and join in. Lucy hears Jude's voice, and frantically rushes to get into the building, only to be stopped by the police. She turns, and runs to a building across the street, and stares at Jude from the roof across the way.She smiles as a tear runs down her cheek. Jude sighs. Together in the end, they kiss as "Lucy in the Sky With Diamonds" plays during the end credits.

Speaking of "Kiss the Girl," the Obama's are going to vacation like Kennedys. They will soon invade Martha's Vineyard for a little whale watching; rest and relaxation.

Despite Hurricane Bill all of the Obama entourage will be a showcase at the Vineyard, as islanders roll out the cuisine, and a good old "American Cliff Hanger."

I'm comfortable with that... aren't you? Good Day! [pdnf]
