Give My Regards to Broad Street is about as close as you can get to a nonmovie, and the parts that do try something are the worst.

Reviews for Give My Regards to Broad Street
Token attempt at street cred: if Paul doesn't get the tapes back, he'll be taken over by a sunglasses-wearing business shark.
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.
A lot of effort has gone into this film's production values, but continuity seems, at best, to have been a secondary concern.
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.
Vanity project for McCartney. Director Webb has lots of style -- none of it his own.
It's nice to McCartney and Starr making music together again, but the film mostly flops.
