I found this first attempt at a BB biopic on YouTube over the weekend, and decided to give it a shot.
It was mildly entertaining on the same level that the Sharknado movies are.
The movie's a mess. It makes American Family and Love & Mercy look like Citizen Kane and The Godfather.
The movie focuses far more on Dennis, and the scandalous side of The Beach Boys than the later two movies. More attention is given to Dennis knocking boots with Mike's illegitimate daughter than both Pet Sounds or Smile, both of which are sort of lumped together as an unimportant part of the Beach Boys tale.
As usual, Carl and Al are background characters. The guy who plays Murry wasn't bad. And it was somewhat amusing to see Howard's father in law from The Big Bang Theory (which had an episode based around "Darlin") playing Mike.
It is interesting that Dr. Landy is included in the movie (his first stint with Brian), as this movie was released when Brian was in Landy's clutches the second time.
At the end of the day, I'm finally in on the "You're out of the band, Buckwheat!!!" joke.

Better than 2000 BBs film. It's got better bandmates (except Dennis), esp. Brian, Mike, Carl. Better tale (except bits with said Dennis). 2.5/5.
