Token attempt at street cred: if Paul doesn't get the tapes back, he'll be taken over by a sunglasses-wearing business shark.

Stephen Garrett, Time Out
Rotten

Give My Regards to Broad Street is about as close as you can get to a nonmovie, and the parts that do try something are the worst.

Roger Ebert, Chicago Sun-Times
Rotten

A lot of effort has gone into this film's production values, but continuity seems, at best, to have been a secondary concern.

Janet Maslin, New York Times
Rotten

You could call it a self-serving film, were McCartney's complacency not so all-embracing: self-flattery requires at least a hint of self-doubt, but there's no trace of anything remotely that unsettling on McCartney's placid, Buddha-like brow.

Dave Kehr, Chicago Reader
