There were definitely some cool visuals and cameos, but it failed to captivate me in the end. It reminded me too much of Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band, which also had some cool cameos. That was a film that ED once took us all to for his B-day when it opened ('78 according to IMDB). Actually, he made us all go. It was his B-day. For a while, ED had this tradition of taking his friends to the crappy movie of his choice. I think we only did it twice, SPLHCB and Garbage Pail Kids (the movie), if memory serves, then we all decided that it wasn't a good idea to support ED in this endeavor. Anyway, Bono was funny in AtU, as was Salma Hayek (missed Joe Cocker), but they couldn't hold a candle to Steve Martin, Alice Cooper, Billy Preston and Aerosmith in SPLHCB (and I hated that film if for the George Burns scene alone). Maybe if I had more psychedelics on board, I would have liked it better.
