The movie centres on a chaotic day in rock star Paul’s life as he daydreams that he will risk losing his recording company to the lowlife Mr. Rath unless he finds the sole copy of his latest album by midnight.
Vanity project for McCartney. Director Webb has lots of style -- none of it his own.

Great music can't compensate for underdone plot and self-indulgent staging,

A really bad movie that exists solely to showcase McCartney's new tunes.

You could call it a self-serving film, were McCartney's complacency not so all-embracing: self-flattery requires at least a hint of self-doubt, but there's no trace of anything remotely that unsettling on McCartney's placid, Buddha-like brow.
The acting here is weaker than the slender story, but intermingled with all the silliness are some fine performances of McCartney-Beatle standards as well as three new songs.
