A young guitarist, reminiscent of a late vocalist, joins a musical band which leads to theories of reincarnation.

Cast

Production

Most of the film was shot in Ocean Beach and other parts of San Diego.

Reception

On the review aggregator website Rotten Tomatoes, 52% of 21 critics' reviews are positive, with an average rating of 5.7/10.

Philip Martin of Arkansas Democrat-Gazette gave it an 80 out of 100, stating "It's sunny and wistful; something to go see if that's what you need right now."

Nick Allen at RogerEbert.com scored it a 1.5 out of 4 and said "This premise would excel far better, and go much deeper with its targeted themes, in something like a dark comedy; that Mighty Oak embraces this delusion with no sarcasm and a lot of wish fulfillment is at the very least worrisome."
