Good movie, but best of all time? Hardly . . .

Very interesting film. Was caught on the premise when seeing the trailer but unsure as to what the outcome would be for the showing. As it turns out, it was a very good film.

It’s not bad or unwatchable but despite the amplitude of the spectacle, the end result is underwhelming.

This movie tries so hard to be funny, yet it falls flat every time. Just another example of recycled ideas repackaged with women in an attempt to appeal to a certain audience.

I can't really tell who is my favorite Beatle, or do I even have a favorite, but George is definitely in my top 4.Anyway, he was a great man and truly beloved among the people. Here we have a tribute concert for him and what a tribute it is! Paul, Ringo, his son Dhani, Eric Clapton, Jeff Lynne, Tom Petty, Billy Preston, Ravi Shankar... They were all there. It's great to see these guys paying tribute to one of the greatest songwriters there ever was (or ever will be) by playing some of his most memorable songs. There are those classics from the Beatle-era, like "While My Guitar Gently Weeps", his solo songs like "Beware of Darkness" and also a nice Traveling Wilburys-number "Handle With Care".If you're a fan of George and The Beatles, I guarantee you will love this.

Here is an all-star tribute to the late Beatle, George Harrison, who died of cancer a few years ago. He was a very gentle, likable guy and you know that just by the turnout of music all- stars here and the tribute these people gave to him - for his life and his music.After the first viewing, I now skip the first 45 minutes of this long concert. It is Eastern sitar music which is okay but not enjoyable enough for me to sit through twice. The concert for most of us Westerners really begins in the second part when host Eric Clapton and the rest perform some of Hasrrison's best songs. Everyone does a good job with the material, doing George's songs proud. I had heard a few of the performances, such as Tom Petty's, were weak but I did not find fault with any performer including his. It was fun to see Ringo Starr, Paul McCartney, Billy Preston, Jeff Lynne and some of the others. Joe Brown was someone I was not familiar with but he was outstanding and very likable and sang a touching finale. That ending just night bring a tear or two to your eyes.

I first saw this concert on PBS and just had to have the DVD. This has got to be the greatest tribute show ever. Everyone did such a great job; the songs were sung by just the right people. Eric Clapton should be proud of himself. He put together a superb show. Dhani Harrison is a doll, a mini-George. Joe Brown--where has he been? What a great surprise! While My Guitar Gently Weeps was one of the highlights. Dhani was obviously moved by it and appeared to say something to that affect to EC at the end. EC then comforted Dhani as Joe sang I'll See You In My Dreams. It was all just beautiful. Thank you, Eric. Thank you all for putting this together for all George's fans.

CONCERT FOR GEORGE (2003) ***1/2 FEATURING: Eric Clapton, Paul McCartney, Ringo Starr, Jeff Lynne, Tom Petty and The Heartbreakers, Ravi Shankar, Joe Brown, Billy Preston, Eric Idle, Michael Palin, Terry Gilliam, Terry Jones, Tom Hanks; Special Guests: Dhoni & Olivia Harrison. Wonderful tribute concert to music legend George Harrison held at England's Royal Albert Hall one year to the date after his death celebrating The Quiet Beatle with a mélange of his songs with music by his mates and collaborators, rejoicing with warmth and some humor (thanks to a partial Monty Python reunion with 'honorary' member Hanks (!) for 'The LumberJack Song'). A touching tribute to a bonafide genius.(Dir: David Leland)
