If you’ve seen a lot of documentaries on the Beach Boys or Brian Wilson, you’ll probably learn nothing new from this DVD. The territory here has all been covered in other documentaries. That said, though, this one does it better than the rest. It’s massive, clocking in at over three hours in length. It’s a great resource for Wilson and Beach Boys fans. While you might have heard a lot of this stuff before, you’ll find it all in one place this time.
