The Beach Boys is a 2024 musical documentary film directed by Frank Marshall and Thom Zimmy focused on the American rock band the Beach Boys. Featuring interviews from band members Brian Wilson, Mike Love, Al Jardine, David Marks and Bruce Johnston, as well as archival footage of Carl Wilson and Dennis Wilson, the film examines the band's history beginning with their formation up until the mid-1970s. The film also features appearances from Janelle Monáe, Lindsey Buckingham, Ryan Tedder and Don Was.
The Beach Boys held its premiere in Los Angeles on May 21, 2024, and was released on May 24, 2024, as a Disney+ original film. It received positive reviews from critics, who considered the film to be friendly towards newcomers and nostalgic. However, it received criticism for skimming through much of the band's history, and its tone was considered by some to be superficial.
