I've been reading a lot of the other reviews of the this movie and on this site, and almost of the all of bad reviews point about the film's minor historical inaccuracies. I have been a huge Monkees fan for a long time and I can personally assure you that this movie is 100% percent historically accurate. Everything down to the last plot detail is true, except for the end. in this movie, After the show got cancelled and the movie Head flops, the Monkees are still together. This isn't true because after all of those things happened, the Monkees broke up. but other than that,it's entirely historically accurate.What makes this film even better is the fact that not only do are four Lead actors dead ringers to the real Monkees, but they also act like the real Monkees. If you read the plot of this movie and you look up the story of the Monkees, you'll find there both the same. I'd highly recommend this movie to any casual fan of the Monkees who doesn't know anything about there story. It's definitely worth the watch.

Man, WTH! Seriously WTH!I assume this film was made for FANS! of The Monkees. Anyway Spoilers ahead, I guess, This is supposed to be a biopic. What is the matter with the people that made this movie. There are so many continuity goofs in this thing to put The A Team to shame. First of all Why is Micky's hair curly right off the bat. And by the way they wore those stupid yellow shirt suits in one episode, The Pilot, that's it. we never get to see the signature red or blue eight button shirts which i loved as a child. That really ticked me off. I suppose all the other goofs were forgivable but those 2 mess ups alone rendered the whole thing redundant. So true fans beware. no care was taken to make this film anywhere near accurate. It was slapped together for drama sake.

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!!!
