Great movie!, 21 August 2001
Author: jellyneckr

I remember seeing this on ABC and thinking that it was the best movie. I'm not a big Beach Boys fan, but I love this movie. It's very well acted and written. The movie could have used some editing because it is so long and there were a few dull moments in the movie that made me groan. Other than that, it was a great movie!
