This movie could have been even better. There were several mistakes that shouldn't have happened... The bands, Backstreet Boys and N Sync were mentioned but they weren't around until the mid nineties. Micky Dolenz's hairstyle wasn't accurate and, considering how well they did with the actors they chose to play the members of The Monkees, they could have done much better with Jimi Hendrix. The actors they chose for Davy Jones, Peter Tork, Mike Nesmith and Micky Dolenz were brilliant!! George Stanchev, who played Davy Jones, was incredible. It was wonderful to hear all their songs again and to relive those awesome days of The Monkees. Some of the hairstyles and fashions worn by some of the support cast could have been more representative of that era but on the whole they did pretty well and they were absolutely spot on on for all the main characters. Loved the little tribute to Mike Nesmith's mum, in the scene where they show Mike using some correction fluid on his manuscript paper! (She invented the first correction fluid about 10 years earlier, in her own kitchen!) I felt the pacing of the story a little erratic, with some parts not given as much detail as there could have been compared with other scenes that were given a lot more time and the ending was quite abrupt. I wish the story could have been continued a little longer. Overall, it was a nice step into the past, to those happy days thanks greatly to the lovely band, The Monkees, who spread joy, laughter and their awesome music!!!
