(Wish I could include an image, but I don't know how to do that any more.
Lots of images they've fixed it so all you can include is the link.)

You're in for a treat.

Great acting, writing, etc.

Plus the music.... in all it's various levels of development .

4. I'm hoping to see it, too, when it comes to my neck-of-the-woods

And I rarely go to the movies anymore, but I really do want to see this one. The Beach Boys were always my brother's favorites, so as a result, we saw them live in concert numerous times. I'm trying to talk my brother into going with me...

5. raccoon could you tell us what you thought

yay or nay....thanks....it's on my list of "maybes" because I'm a Paul Dano fan

6. I liked it. I thought most of the characters looked a lot like the

RL people. (Except John Cusack, who doesn't look much like Brian but I
thought he did a good job. I really liked Paul Dano as Brian.

Brian Wilson's one of my heroes so I am very interested in the story. I think
if someone wasn't real interested in the Beach Boys, it might have seemed slow-moving to them--compared to the rapid-pace movies we've become accustomed to today.

If you're a Beach Boy fan, I recommend it.
