Movie Reviews of The Turtles - Happy Together
Movie Review: Good documentary
Summary: 3 Stars
The Turtles were a second rate group with two or three first rate songs but this documentary will please anyone interested in sixties pop music. Never great song writers, they were able to make "Happy Together" a monster hit with their soaring harmonies and Howard Kaylan's great leading vocals. Their time in the sun was short, however. Close knit, baroque pop harmonies went out of style after 1968 in favor of a more electric instrumental sound. The Turtles tried to be progressive, made mediocre albums (including one produced by Ray Davies of The Kinks), the hits stopped, and Volman and Kaylan ended up singing for Zappa and T-Rex. What we remember are the hits: "Happy Together," "Elinor," "She'd rather be with me." This is an interesting dvd because so little is known about the Turtles. They were friends from the same high school who hit the big time while still quite young. Not a great group but one that has earned a place in sixties pop history.
Summary of The Turtles - Happy Together
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. For veteran fans and appreciative latecomers, this DVD is a joy to behold and includes a "songs only" feature that's handy for subsequent viewings. --Jeff ShannonDocumentary DVD Video
