Neil S @Skinmann 3d Loved it. Took me back to the UK 6 weeks summer holidays where my pals and I would watch Flash Gordon, Weissmuller Tarzans, Elvis Movies and the Monkies. Then listen to records for the rest of the day. Heady times (no pun intended- we were far too young) The actors nailed the parts and grew more like the real Monkees as the Film progressed. Great casting I thought. Great soundtrack. If you watched the goofball series as a kid, this is for you . See more Ava Sep 8 Yo everyone hating makes me feel like a loser, I finished the series saw this on YouTube and decided to watch it, I thought it was enjoyable and I laughed at some of the jokes and references and I also liked the casting they look pretty similar to the actual monkees the only one who doesn't is the casting for davy but it's close enough it's pretty hard to find another dude with a baby face so yeah I thought it's good not perfect but doesn't deserve the hate See more K M 01/08/2024 Poorly written, over-the-top acting, this film has the quality of a home movie. It's an embarrassment. The only positive is that the actors bear some resemblance to the actual Monkees. See more R J 07/04/2023 Having played their music on the radio and worked with Mickey and Davy I was hoping this would be a fun, entertaining, maybe even insightful experience. Nope. Embarrassing overacting... Poor choices for the Monkees... Early on "Peter" comments that he's a musician and can't act. In reality no one in this film can act. The movie tries WAY too hard to capture the fun of the real group and show, and fails miserably at almost every turn. Love the actual Monkees, but this is an unwatchable mess. See more Susan M 01/10/2023 The movie was pretty good, but the casting choice for Davey Jones nearly ruined it. Horrible fake English accent, butt chin, horrible acting, it's like they picked the first short guy who walked in because the outfits fit. Other than that, the movie was pretty good. I loved the Monkees even more than the Beatles, so this was a nice walk back through time for me. See more 04/10/2018 Sensational TV show, love it to death and I'm in the generation AFTER the millennials. See more Read all reviews
