Bill T. @btreakle Apr 27 “Daydream Believers “ The Monkees story This is another About the monkeys and their rise to stardom in the sitcom about four guys who are in a band. The producers of this show never intended for these four guys to be real musicians or a band as it were. However with the release of their first song the monkeys rose stardom even though they never really played their instruments in the beginning. This is their story about the rise of stardom and how they quickly transformed into a real band. I have to say the actress that portrayed Michael nesmith and Peter tork and Davy Jones and Micky dolenz did a good job even though they really didn't resemble the actual actors.

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 .

It's an embarrassment. The only positive is that the actors bear some resemblance to the actual Monkees.

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 @susie67 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 Read all reviews
