Details

In the summer of 2005, a package arrived at the Hollywood offices of Highway 61 Entertainment from London with no return address. Inside were two mini-cassette audio tapes dated December 30, 1999 and labeled "The Last Testament of George Harrison". A voice eerily similar to Harrison's tells a shocking story: Paul McCartney was killed in a car crash in November of 1966 and replaced with a double!

Alicia I love this movie so much
Platicsco Good story, Not enough for a whole film
FuzzyTagz If the ambition is to provide two hours of instantly forgettable, popcorn-munching escapism, it succeeds.
Adeel Hail Unshakable, witty and deeply felt, the film will be paying emotional dividends for a long, long time.
KillaWhat? Utter garbage. Yeah, others called it a mockumentary. You couldn't even call it that. The fake George Harrison voice wasn't even close other than an English accent. The clues left are hilarious as is the outstretches from it. I lasted about an hour and had to put it bed for the total crap that was spilling. At least in a mockumentary you'd have some laughs. The only laughs here were the bad voice overs, bad reference. The only redeeming quality would be the TV excerpts that you may (or may not) have seen before on the rise of the fab four. To say Paul (or Faul) switched from playing right to left is ridiculous. Save yourself 1h30m and leave it alone. Just go and watch an old Beatles concert instead. Bloody Amercian theorists.....pffff. Go burn some more albums
kalebspider I think that its funny no one wants to believe the fact that Paul really is dead. I believe thats its true and, even though it could be someone else. if its not really George. what he said really goes together, like a puzzle this guy was really trying to make on outreach and i'm going to stick with his story and believe it! so all of you who don't believe don't go filling others heads! it is not a mockery its serious and true. not laughable.I think that its funny no one wants to believe the fact that Paul really is dead.

dickklip Despite the inaccuracies, tricks, and plain lies, this is an interesting and entertaining movie to watch, especially if you're a Beatles fan and remember the controversy in the late sixties (which I do). I agree, however, with those that say this should have been labeled a "mockumentary" and did a great disservice to George Harrison and his legacy. I'm surprised they could get away with that.Still, I found it fascinating because it taught me many new things about the conspiracy theory of that time, when we were all trying to figure out the symbolism on the albums (and in the albums) about whether Paul was really dead. On the factual side, however, and here's where the spoiler alert applies:1. The voice was clearly NOT George Harrison, and even the impersonation was terrible, especially the fake Liverpool accent. 2. Why would George, if he were to leave a tape, do it a manner which conveniently provides a narrative (without hesitation or mistake) to fit a 90 minute format? 3. Why send it to Highway 61 productions instead of the news media? 4. As the movie goes on, the assertions become even more ridiculous such as saying that the girl with Paul the night he died in Nov. 1966 was put into a government witness program and later lost her leg in an accident then forced "Faul" (short for Fake Paul), to marry her under her new name of Heather Mills. I found this one particularly outrageous because Heather was born in 1968, two years after the accident! 5.Surprisingly, I never saw it mentioned that the MI5 go-between, Maxwell, would have most certainly been the subject of the Beatles song, "Maxwell's Silver Hammer" although it may have been in there and I may have missed that part, because I was only half watching by the end. I could go on and on, but suffice it to say that if you take it with a grain of salt, and just watch for the entertainment value and the various "clues" that were indeed left at the time, it's still a fun watch. I only hope that younger viewers aren't fooled into believing the overall premise.
malyssanicole I really have only one thing to state about this movie, that its worth the watch. Yes the ideas are a little far fetched and apparently not true (since everyone on here seems to know the men from The Beatles personally so they know this isn't true.....) but I found it very interesting. Whether it was true or not, they made their case very clear and it actually started to sound like it might possibly be true. Maybe they shouldn't have called it a documentary, maybe it should of been called a mockumentary.All I can say, if you plan on watching this, is go into it with an open mind and take what you want from it. Don't expect an Oscar worthy film, because it is far from it.
