Reviews for Sergeant Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band
Pathetic acting and a scattershot plot sink this pitiful attempt by producer Robert Stigwood to turn the landmark Beatles album Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band into an engaging film.
Inert musical set to the bubblegum music of the popular 1967 Beatles album.
Sitting through what passes for a story here is like trying to make a meal out of a can of vanilla frosting. ...The comments on the test screening scorecards must have been priceless.
I stared at the screen wondering how anyone thought this could possibly have found an audience, even in the degraded '70s.
The only reason to watch this is to laugh at how bad it was. That, and the haircuts.
A motion picture whose awfulness can hardly be imagined on a human scale.
A totally bubblegum and cotton candy melange of garish fantasy and narcissism.
