Admittedly, it's actually kinda cool to hear the BeeGees playing Beatles songs, but Peter Frampton's godawful lead vocals ruin that a little bit. As far as the movie as a whole: a wretched, painful experience devoid of joy. The attempt at telling the story purely as rock opera (IE: no dialogue, only singing) fails miserably as the script struggles to make coherent narrative out of the psychedelic lyrics.
