Daydream Believer (1998)

November 6, 1998 Fantasy, Drama, Comedy, Romance • 17m

Overview

Suburbia 1967. Eleven-year-old Susan Bradley has only one thing on her mind, and it's not schoolwork. It's Mike Nesmith of The Monkees, the popular pop group made famous in the television sitcom of the same name. Susan, with "boyfriend" Nesmith, lives in a daydream, a sixties riot of psychedelic colors and goofy, soft-focus, teenage-girl love scenes. Her well-meaning parents try to snap her back to reality, but it takes an informative copy of Teen Life to finally open Susan's eyes.

What a flick! Must watch for any Monkees enthusiasts, and even for those who aren't fans (not to spoil anything, but the film could be read through an anti-Monkee lens). I was blown away by the production value; I often forgot it was created in 1998 because the set dressing was so period accurate to the 60's! Loved all the costumes. The actor who plays Mike was fantastic, they really should've gotten him back for the Monkees' similarly titled bio… read the rest.

This movie is really critical to the understanding many people have of Mike Nesmith and The Monkees. Who's to say where film might be if we had not been given this masterpiece.
