Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band (film)/YMMV

Everything About Fiction You Never Wanted to Know.


  • Ending Fatigue: The whole business with Strawberry's death means that the final quarter of the film seriously drags.
  • Evil Is Cool: What else could it be when the Big Bad is fucking Aerosmith??
  • Ham and Cheese: Frankie Howerd is clearly having a hell of a time as Mr. Mustard.
  • So Bad It's Good: Some sections of the film do have their fans -- Steve Martin's take on "Maxwell's Silver Hammer", Earth Wind & Fire's "Got To Get You Into My Life", and the opening credits montage showing the original Sgt. Pepper and his band adapting to the different musical styles from WWI to the 70s.
  • Vindicated by Cable: Somewhat. Repeated showings seem to have softened feelings a bit towards the film which bombed with a capital B at the box office.
