Premiering Friday on Disney+, 'The Beach Boys' is a compact telling of the band's history with a wealth of archival photographs and home movies, many new.
I will always watch a film about the Beach Boys — the latest, titled simply 'The Beach Boys,' premieres Friday on Disney+ — not just for the part they played in American musical and cultural history but for the part they played in my own. From 1966 to 1969 my father worked for the band, in the capacity of a tour promoter; that these were their years of lesser popularity, as rock got heavy and dour and jammy, meant that this relationship gave me no cachet among my peers.
Not even counting the scores of online videos and the all-star tributes, there's a wealth of full-blown films about the band as a whole and of Brian Wilson, the foundation of their sound, going back decades, including three biopics: two for television — the Dennis-focused 'Summer Dreams' and 'The Beach Boys: An American Family' — and the well-regarded big-screen Brian young-and-old movie 'Love and Mercy.
