Howard Kaylan found fame as the lead singer of the 1960s band The Turtles, as depicted in this autobiographical screenplay. We meet Kaylan (Justin Henry) and his bandmates just as they triumph with their single "Happy Together." The band then heads off to England, where their friend Graham Nash (Steven Soldevilla) introduces them to The Beatles and Kaylan later dines with Jimi Hendrix (Royale Watkins) -- an event that changes his life.

The odds seems to be against 60s rock biopics. It's hard to suspend your disbelief with actors playing Jim Morrison, the Beatles, Hendrix, etc. The lesser films of this type are truly LOL bad. But despite being a low budget film, it's still very enjoyable. It helps that Kaylan wrote this- and he has some sympathetic first-person takes on characters generally not portrayed that way. And of course the opposite for Lennon. And it's funny. Honestly, pretty well done.
