Featured review
This was a great film. As someone who grew up during this period it brought back a lot of wonderful memories for me. I seems like it was a much simpler time. The Beach Boys music always makes the think of happy memories! I've seen them eight times. I had heard a lot about the problems Murry caused the group but never really knew just how hard he was on the guys. No wonder Brian has had his troubles. I thought the acting was excellent and, of course, the music was great. I attempted to record it off of television but lost some of it when the tape ran out!! I have searched high and low for a copy of this film. Does anyone know how I might obtain one? Please email me at daveh103@aol.com. Many thanks.
