my dinner with jimi be a glimpse at howard kaylan giddy and vertiginous ride to fame with his 60 folk rock band and the turtle . the turtle be kind of a econd tier act during the sixty and but the film clearly demonstrate that they could eat and drink and and party with the titan of hippie culture . and and not only that and they have the musical chop to back it up . many of the stellar act of the era be see a they interact with the band at work and at play . this provide my only complaint about the film . almost from the beginning of the movie and one see that it be nearly impossible to find actor who can convincingly impersonate such recognizable star . too often during the film and i felt that i be watch an engage exhibition of phony wig and mustache . but and if you be a fan of the music of the turtle and or the swing 60 and in general this might be the film for you . and and do not forget to view the extra . there be a very funny ( and informative ) bit by band member and mark volman and howard kaylan and about their disastrous experience with manager and agent .
