Query: More mellodrama than 8th grade camp

While the kid who plays William is good, the rest of the characters invoke apathy at best. Kate Hudson's character is especially pointless, I never cared one iota about "Penny Lane". I spent most of this overly-long movie simply waiting for it to end.The only standout performance was from Jason Lee who was the lead singer of the fictitious band Stillwater. The soundtrack is also excellent, although you've probably heard all the songs included about 100 times to often.
