The Turtles: Happy Together Trailers

Proving that the Turtles were as vital to '60s pop as many better-known bands, this delightful 1991 documentary is blessed by the lively personalities of Turtles vocalists Mark Volman and Howard Kaylan (a.k.a. "Flo & Eddie"), whose anecdotes (including memorable encounters with Bob Dylan and the Beatles) are as entertaining as the group's enduring music. Interviews with bandmates reveal that the Turtles were genuinely "Happy Together," enjoying their popularity without the ego hassles that plague so many bands. It wasn't all fun and games, but even the "Lawsuits" chapter provides a hilarious primer on the hazards of rock & roll. Best of all, the Turtles' hits (including "She's My Girl," "Elenore," and many more) are seamlessly combined with rare concert footage, TV appearances, and promotional films.

Reviews
BoardChiri Bad Acting and worse Bad Screenplay
Huievest Instead, you get a movie that's enjoyable enough, but leaves you feeling like it could have been much, much more.
DipitySkillful an ambitious but ultimately ineffective debut endeavor.
Rio Hayward All of these films share one commonality, that being a kind of emotional center that humanizes a cast of monsters.
