However, every time I've watched it sense, I've liked it less, to the point where the last time I saw it, I hated it.  The story just seems so forced in order to fit with all the music.  Especially Prudence.  Her only purpose in the movie is for the characters to sing Dear Prudence at some point.
I felt like this the first time I watched it. I'm not a huge Beatles fan (not that I don't like them, I just don't have any albums), but I thought the whole thing felt forced.

I agree with these two.  I enjoy it but really as nothing more than good covers/collection of music videos.  I would probably only watch it again to just skip around to the songs.  I always felt the same way about Prudence.  Absolutely no purpose.  The story isn't much more than your basic '60s counter-culture, Vietnam hippie piece.  It's extremely amazing visually, and it's impressive how they're able to work that many songs into its plot (most of them seamlessly, as if they belonged there), but I have to say it's really a lot of style, not much substance.
