Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band Reviews
The best moment? Aerosmith offering a chilling rendition of "Come Together." The most love-it-or-leave-it moment? Steve Martin doing his comic shtick while performing "Maxwell's Silver Hammer." The worst moment? A million-way tie between everything else.

Frampton sings the Beatles' songs "as they've never been sung before," it says in the press release. Well yes they have been, as a matter of fact. And better.

A daft attempt to further conceptualise the classic Beatles album by linking its songs via a contrived connective storyline. The attempt fails miserably.
| Original Score: 2/5 | Feb 26, 2019
Like a box of candy left on the beach, this movie is a gooey, sugary mess. But buried in the glop are a few nuggets.

A laughably bad movie.
| Original Score: 1/4 | Feb 26, 2019
[An] inept, studiously naive, childishly sanctimonious phantasmagoria "inspired" by the Beatles' great album.

Do you remember the Beatles? Those that do will be amazed at the way Stigwood can use so much of their music and capture so little of its essence.

A motion picture whose awfulness can hardly be imagined on a human scale.
| Original Score: 0/10 | Sep 16, 2007
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.
| Original Score: 0/5 | Sep 10, 2007
A totally bubblegum and cotton candy melange of garish fantasy and narcissism.
| Sep 10, 2007
Inert musical set to the bubblegum music of the popular 1967 Beatles album.
| Original Score: C | Apr 12, 2006
This crass moral pantomime is plain embarrassing.

The music is really good, too. Never mind the 'story.'
| Original Score: 3/5 | Jan 19, 2006
Oh yeah, the Bee Gees are much better than that other band.

This isn't a movie, it's a business deal set to music.

gleefully nutty chaos!

The only reason to watch this is to laugh at how bad it was. That, and the haircuts.
