Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band

Summary: It was meant to be fun!
Review: I first saw this movie when I was 14 years old, in the summer of '78, and as many times again that summer as my young teenage finances could handle. I think it's a lot of great fun, and that's the whole point, it wasn't meant to be a copy of the Beatles and it was certainly not meant to be a serious film about a town called Heartland, USA. Lighten up! It was a fantasy film set to music. Sure there's no plot, but the music is wonderfully done (particularly "The Long and Winding Road") and there's a very clear good vs. evil story going on. I think it belongs in those midnight theaters along with "The Rocky Horror Picture Show"... it's a definite cult classic and great representation of the "satin 70's" for kids of today. I now have three young daughters who ask to watch it all the time and now know who the Beatles are and that this is their music, done by other musicians, etc. I think Peter Frampton took a bum wrap for doing this movie, and it's been a thorn in his side for the past 21 years. People just need to see it for what it was always intended to be, some light-hearted satin-clad fun set to Beatles' musc. Watch it with your kids, you'll all enjoy it!

Summary: Hopelessly dated, but...
Review: I saw this movie in the theatre when I was 6 years old, taken by the world's coolest dad who wanted to get his son into the music of the Beatles but realized that said son was NOT going to strap on headphones and listen to the collection of vinyl under the stereo. Well, it worked. But more than that, it was actually pretty entertaining--an incredibly colorful and fast-moving movie with (of course) some of the catchiest songs in the universe backing it up. Granted, purists have a right to cry sacrelige at the thought of some of the musical numbers, but purists also have a right to lighten up every now and then. For better or worse, this film, _Star Wars_ and _The Muppet Movie_ are probably the top three overwhelming sensory media experiences of my childhood (unless you count that time my babysitter took me to meet Lyle "Wonder Woman" Waggoner, but that's another story entirely). Relax a little and give it a shot.

Summary: Sacrilege!
Review: The Bee Gees terribly portray the Beatles second best album, and have no place as no-talent disco freaks to pretend to be the best. Imagine Jean Claude (Clod) Van Damme portraying Humphrey Bogart and you understand why this film is so loathsome. As good as "Sgt. Pepper" was, its songs were NOT the basis for a movie.

Summary: This is my favorite movie in the whole world!!!
Review: I'm 14 and I love the Bee Gees. They were so funny in this movie! I was cracking up throughout the whole thing, (my friends thought I was crazy.) The music was awesome, and I thought it was a great story. If you haven't seen it yet, I DEFINATLY recomend it!!!

Summary: I Wish the FVB Would Make a Groupie out of Me
Review: This movie may not be the greatest of all time, but it will always have a place in my heart because it introduced a then 12 year old girl to Aerosmith. Up until the performance of the Future Villian Band, I actually had a crush on Peter Frampton. The numbers by Steve Martin and Alice Cooper are weird, but still enjoyable.

Summary: I love this movie!
Review: I first saw this movie in the theater when I was 14 years old and have always loved and remembered it. I love the BEE GEE's and Peter Frampton. I looked in video stores and department stores for this movie and just finally found a plase where I could order it to buy. HBO or Tv should show this once in a while.So our kids can see how much fun music can be. Besides the BEE GEE'S can sing the music alot better.I never liked anyone but Paul McCartny and he sounds much better by himself than he did with all the beatles.

Summary: This Rules
Review: This movie was great. It had great actors and singers. Anybody who does'nt think so is an ignoramous. It is certainly a thrill and 10 steps up from the usual lousy Beatle movies.

Summary: I'd rather watch Ishtar
Review: The worst piece of garbage ever. Who the hell came up with this concept? The Bee Gees as the Beatles. I would have loved to been in that development meeting. Just say no.

Summary: Aerosmith Rocks
Review: I bought this movie only because Aerosmith was in it, but now it is one of my favorite movies of all time. It totally turned me on to the Beatles, and it can't be put down. Everytime I watch it, I find something new about the whole thing. Billy always has something pink on, for example. Shame on you if you don't apreciate it enough. I think this movie rocks, and needs better recognition.
