It's been over 20 years since I saw anything of their TV show from the 60s but this feels like a longer big screen version of that but a little more adult. It's always nice seeing the scrummy Teri Garr and there are a few celebrities to spot if you don't blink (Jack Nicholson (who co-wrote this with the director) and Dennis Hopper for starters). I liked a lot of the songs but all they did was make me want to watch any of the movies The Beatles made (that's going to happen tonight). There's not much of a plot and that's OK because as long as what's there is entertaining, that's what counts. I'm glad I finally got around to seeing it but I'll never need to go there again.
