For those who like Beatles covers

Rating: 8/10 (25 April 2008)

What seems like a movie inspired by the Stigwood one Sgt.Pepper is this time round not given such a trashing. Loses 2 stars because of the horrible performance by Eddie Izzard who I believe is some sort of "alternative comedian" but any comedy in Mr Kite was done by John Lennon and doesn't need an unfunny comic to add to it. Perhaps now in the U K we'll get the Sgt Pepper movie as enough time has passed for a new generation to appreciate what to my mine was a great film. Otherwise this is a movie which only works because of its music. It doesn't have a powerful story line like I Am Sam but what it does have is what could be a series of music videos. For the collector of Beatles covers this is manna from Heaven. One thing puzzles me though-why has some person with the hideous name of Dana Fuchs not changed it?
