Speaking as a chick, I loved the movie. But not for Melinda's story. I loved the scenes of Brian's creativity (in the studio especially). I was interested in another chick from the movie and found a great interview with Carol Kaye on youtube. Also must say, I don't really like the Beach Boys because of the vocals-falsetto :( and the lyrics. Am loving this show today with all the instrumentals. Thanks!
