DVD-9, no regions, NTSC "Geschichten von Musikern, die zu wenig beachtet wurden, gibt es wie Sand am Meer, die Legende der Monks aber ist tatsächlich so außergewöhnlich, dass die zwei Filmemacher Dietmar Post und Lucia Palacios daraus einen grandiosen und zu Recht mit Lob überhäuften Film zaubern konnten, der nun erstmals auf DVD veröffentlicht wird. Sie setzen darin der Band und ihrer Ära ein beeindruckendes Denkmal. Mit Liebe für Details, aber auch für die ganz großen Bilder wird die märchenhafte Geschichte von den fünf zu Beginn der Sechziger in Westdeutschland gestrandeten US-Soldaten aufbereitet, die den Rock'n'Roll für sich entdeckten." Christoph Dallach (Der Spiegel, April 2009)
