Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band would be definitively unwatchable. This misguided effort to dramatize the classic Beatles album (the Fab Four had nothing to do with it, thank goodness) also includes tunes from other Beatles LPs, strung together in lumbering '70s rock-opera style. Peter Frampton, then at the crest of his brief run at the top, stars as Billy Shears, with the Bee Gees wearing the glossy day-glo band jackets from the Pepper album cover. Earth, Wind & Fire turn in a spirited revamp of "Got to Get You into My Life," and Aerosmith thrash their way through "Come Together"; but most of the performances are pretty awful. Out-and-out novelties include Steve Martin doing "Maxwell's Silver Hammer" and George Burns (but of course) warbling "Fixing a Hole." This high-profile 1978 flop helped kill the hot streak (Saturday Night Fever, Grease) of record and movie producer Robert Stigwood and sink his RSO movie-music empire. --Robert Horton Average Rating:
 Rating:  - Cult classic- expect cheesiness!If you expect this movie to be a prolific account of the Beatles catalog, expect to be disappointed. This is by far, the cheesiest movie I have ever seen. What I love about it, is the way it captures the pop culture scene of the late 70s. With the idolatry of artists like Elvis, the Beatles, Led Zeppelin... I think the late 70s really taught us to enjoy a whole type of music. Incorporating the Bee Gees, Frampton, Aerosmith, Earth Wind & Fire into one movie breaks down the barriers of music.

Those who have seen the movies ROLLER BOOGIE or MOMENT BY MOMENT know a little something about that; but we're not talking about ordinary bad cinema, here. We're talking about soul-sucking, cosmic darkness. We're talking about... . . .SGT. PEPPER'S LONELY HEARTS CLUB BAND. The film may have been conceived in a spirit of merriment, but watching it feels like playing shuffleboard at the absolute insistence of a bossy shipboard social director. ... Read More Rating: - SGT. PEPPER'S LONELY HEARTS CLUB BANDThis movie is kinda out dated, but it's still a good movie for the time it came out. I didn't know "Donald Pleasant" was in this movie, same guy that played in the "HALLOWEEN" series. This has alot of different stars I did know that was in this movie like "AEROSMITH","STEVE MARTIN" & "PETER FRAMPTON". Over all this a very well done movie as long as your old enough to remember when the movie came out.LOL I rate this movie a 9 from 1to10!! Rating: - Call me strange, but...(Written by Karen T. Fahel) I realize that I am one of a very select few who actually LIKES this movie...and that includes the cast! However, like it I do. I was a teenager and a fan of Peter Frampton and the Bee Gees when this movie came out, so I have that connection. It's so much fun to see who-all shows up: Steve Martin; Alice Cooper; Earth, Wind and Fire; Aerosmith (in one of the funniest fight scenes in movie history); Billy Preston...and the surprises at the end!
