The Beach Boys

Loved hearing the classic songs and great stories. Great doc

Very good overview. I enjoyed it, but, then I am 76.

Useful as a guide to the band’s constantly shifting lineup, but otherwise not particularly needed or inciteful. Another celebration of boomer icons who don’t really need more celebration but could survive a little scrutiny.

The Beach Boys was a great dose of nostalgia and for someone like me who grew up listening to them in the backseat of my dad's car, I didn't actually know a lot of their backstory. I really would've like it to go just a bit deeper into some of the controversies rather than just surface level.

Thoughtful and compelling portrait of family, Southern California, and how music both shifted with and influenced the postwar decades. As we went from booming utopia to fervent civil rights, so too did The Beach Boys — the doc reflects their highs and lows in their record releases and lineups. From selling the California dream, going toe to toe with the monolithic Beatles, experimenting with LSD, and learning the power of their music came from their familial bond — it’s all there and expertly and honestly told in this documentary.

This was an amazing movie to watch it almost give all the information need to know about the beach boys. I like this documentary film.

This stunning tribute is absolute must-watch!

Loved it!!! Endless Summer was a staple of my childhood and I have been a fan ever since. This amazing doc shows the complicated relationships between the band members and what it took to make such groundbreaking songs. I teared up a few times! Brian Wilson is a genius and Pet Sounds has stood the test of time — that was my favorite scene of the whole thing. Definitely worth watching more than once.

Good family friendly overview of the Beach Boys career. Sure to introduce new fans to this classic band.

So much I didn't know about their origin story, fascinating how they all came together to form the band. Nicely paced and lots of music, and not too long!
