A fascinating mess with strong retro camp appeal.

You need not see it to believe it.

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.

This crass moral pantomime is plain embarrassing.

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.

A motion picture whose awfulness can hardly be imagined on a human scale.
09/16/07
A totally bubblegum and cotton candy melange of garish fantasy and narcissism.
