Leave your thoughts about My Dinner with Jimi.
| DVDTalk.comDavid CorneliusWe can groan over those terrible wigs all we want, but by the end of the picture, we're still taken in by Kaylan's dizzying story. |
| Jam! MoviesJim SlotekGreat fun, an old hippie's anecdote brought to life. |
| Toronto StarGeoff PevereMore a collection of dubiously myth-serving, purple-hazed '60s' sketches than anything else. |
| User ReviewSean DI believe I'll enhance my viewing experience by indulging on a fatty before hand. Far out. |
| User ReviewBrian PAs a die hard Jimi Hendrix fan (I have every official hendrix release + the bonus editions and 2 box sets). I had to check this film out. The film centers around the band The Turtles, and their rapid rise to fame after the release of their single "Happy Together". They go to London, and have one of the craziest nights that they wouldnt forget. They hang out at Graham Nash's pad, and get high while listening to an advanced copy of Sgt. Peppers, they hang out with Donovan, The Moody Blues, Brian Jones, Frank Zappa, Mama Cass, Jim Morrison, and of course Jimi Hendrix. First off, I love this genre and everything about the late 60s (I also have every Beatles album, every Doors album, and other albums by misc artists, Cream, Rolling Stones, etc.), so this was a hippiegasm for me. I had a very fun time trying to name all the artists that would randomly appear in the Speakeasy (a London club that apparently entertains some of the biggest artists in England). The Beatles scene was fantastic, and very believable. Another memorable scene was the draft board scene, where I laughed very, very hard. The long final scene with Hendrix was the highlight for me, of course. While the wig and actor didnt impress me at first, I got used to it, and by the end of the scene I enjoyed it very much so. While, being an info nerd, noticed some historically inaccurate things thrown in to make the movie more interesting (like Jim Morrison reading the bad review of the Doors in the diner). But overrall, this movie was extremely heartfelt, and I appreciate the experience to see one of my icons portrayed on the screen. If you are a fan of flower power, Rock and Roll, or both. Check this film out. |
| User ReviewPeter WEverything Kaylan and Volman have achieved in their long and winding career (Turtles, T.Rex, Flo & Eddie) was delivered with spirit and style. The same can be said of this movie: a heartfelt and entertaining reconstruction of the late 60s' music scene from L.A. to London. Great fun! |
| User ReviewGreg Wfelt cheap production values but good story and based on actual events. |
| User ReviewSimon DA pretty low budget story, which, let's face it, is a non-event compared to all the other bands testimonies from this era. I'm surprised that there is a film about it to be honest. One thing that I like about this film is the comparison between the music and the stars in the USA and the UK in the summer of love. Every film I see containing the Beatles seems to show them a total twats, so from now on that's what I'll assume they were. |
| User ReviewLoukia MA really poorly told rock n' roll tale. Not that I thought a movie about The Turtles was going to change my life, but I expected more than this. |
