The Worst Film Ever

Don't listen to the negative reviews

It's funny watching the elements come together in this complicated scam. On one hand, the set-up isn't quite as complex as it seems, but there's an easy sense of fun in every exchange.

I think this is a new genre that they're all sort of working their way through it and haven't got all the kinks worked out yet but it's a genre that works for me.

I don't know why there is so much criticism of this film. While I was watching it someone walked in and thought that it was actually 'The Monkees', that shows what a great job all the lead actors did. Aaron Lohr was quite convincing as Micky Dolenz which isn't easy as Mr Dolenz has a very unique look. Jeff Geddis was a very convincing Mike. George Stanchev did a fine job of Davy Jones in my opinion, I thought his accent was pretty good and the look was spot on. LB Fisher was a very convincing Peter Tork. They not only looked like 'The Monkees' they talked and moved like them. What more do you want from a Biopic? You will never get every detail right as you cannot cram several years into a couple of hours without some artistic license. The only film that really got it all right was Ray! The characterisations of other famous people in the film didn't quite live up to it, especially Jimmy Hendricks and The Beatles, but the Jack Nicholson was pretty good I'd say. Could they have done things better in this film? Yes of course they could, but over all it was a pretty good and convincing portrayal. My only criticism is the ending could have been better and in fact the film itself could have been a bit longer to show more about the split of the group etc. But I would still wholeheartedly recommend this film to anyone with an interest in music, the 60s or The Monkees themselves.

Being a 14 year old Monkees fan I obviously wasn't around when the Monkees were at the height of their success- but I know their story pretty well. I didn't know what to make of the film at first- somebody else portraying my beloved Monkees? But after watching it I found that I loved it- it was pretty much true to the Monkees story and was a lot of fun. The soundtrack was great too- it will leave you humming Monkees songs for days afterwords!The film is a credit to Davy,Micky,Peter and Mike and to the actors who played them [George Stanchev, Aaron Lohr, L.B Fisher and Jeff Geddis] watch the movie if you are a Monkees fan..if you are NOT a Monkees fan, watch the movie and you will probably become one!

Wow. This really was not that great.The producers did a great job with casting, the actors all LOOKED like the Monkees, and for the most part sounded like them, too. (Fake Davy could use some work, and Fake Mike went a little soft on the drawl)It was in the writing that the Daydream was un-Believeable. TWO guys created the show, Bob Rafelson and Bert Schnider, NOT one guy named Van. And the Monkees didn't meet on a beach and discuss the obvious after Head, that was just cheesy. In fact, the entire ending was cheesy. Also, many scenes were just so ridiculously historically inaccurate that it was both sad & funny at once! (Thanks, VH1, for Popping it up today and pointing out things I missed) It seemed like the writers were more concerned with pinpointing certain specific moments than with presenting the real story.Awesome soundtrack, though. :)

Ok, here goes--I am a Monkee fan from way back--from when the original series was on TV. (Telling my age now, huh?) I was prepared to hate this movie because movies of this type never really seem to "hit the mark" and do justice. I must say I was pleasantly surprised. Although I realise that it was not a "perfect" movie AND that the script could have possibly been better, AND that there wasn't nearly enough "Monkee Music", I almost forgot that these guys were not the "Monkees". I think the actors did a great job, especially Aaron (Micky)--great job on the lip-synching close-ups. (Hey, it's hard to make it look like you're REALLY singing the lyrics--especially close-up!) Maybe my hearing isn't what it used to be but I thought George (Davy) did great on the accent (but lose the wig!). L.B. (Peter) reminded me of a blonde Keanu Reeves from Bill and Ted (they oughta get him if they ever need a guy to play Keanu's brother). Jeff (Mike) was the Monkee you loved to hate--hey, Mike was never my favorite anyway. Got a real kick out of his portrayal as the blonde princess though!! As for the casting people getting look-a-like actors, I think they did a good job. If you wanted better or exact ones, we'd have to "clone" them--hey, there's an idea--Ha! I learned a lot about these guys that I didn't know. I agree that the opening scenes (modern day) were really DUMB--I almost thought I had rented the wrong movie at first. Out of a possible 10, I'd give this one an 8!!!
