Daydream Believer

Brilliantly crafted. Twists you could never see coming

What a flick! Must watch for any Monkees enthusiasts, and even for those who aren't fans (not to spoil anything, but the film could be read through an anti-Monkee lens). I was blown away by the production value; I often forgot it was created in 1998 because the set dressing was so period accurate to the 60's! Loved all the costumes. The actor who plays Mike was fantastic, they really should've gotten him back for the Monkees' similarly titled biopic "Daydream Believers" (2001). His accent was so perfect and I even forgot that it wasn't Mike Nesmith himself! A great story, cute and fun for the whole family. I'm sure watching with this with my mother would really take her back to the good old days and she'd have lots of fun Monkee stories to share with me afterward. 5/5 stars, I could not enjoy this movie more.
