    such a random, random, random film
  • June 9, 2007
    Robert Stigwood created a tribute to the Beatles by plotting a fantasy adventure movie around the various song lyrics of their later albums. Sung and acted by The Bee-Gees and Peter Frampton, plus fun cameos from 70's performers Alice Cooper, Aerosmith, Earth Wind and Fire, Steve...( read more) Martin, George Burns and Donald Pleasance. Many of the musical arrangements and vocals seemed way different from the original tunes. And like a square peg crammed into a round hole, the lyrics were sometimes stretched for what's occurring in the story. It's often incredibly cheesy and overbearing, but I think of it as a curiosity of the late-70's rock-disco culture and a celebration of the Beatles melodies and lyrics.

    Bad, bad, bad. What more can I say? A waste of time. money and talent. I'm so sorry that John and George lived long enough to see this. Only shining light was George Burns.

    Oh god. This sure did ruin a lot of careers. Luckily the actual Beatles were smart (or dead) enough to avoid this monstrosity. Still though, it's better than Magical Mystery Tour. Oh well.

    You gotta be kiddin? Two of the greatest rock stars of the late 1970's---Peter Frampton and The Bee Gees together in one picture based on songs by the Beatles....this was blasphamy...
