    Jersey Boys

    Reviewed by

    This attempt to present a stage musical on screen failed badly. The "cutesie" interruptions in which one of the cast members suddenly starts narrating the story are irritating as hell, the movie is a good hour too long, the "story" of the Four Seasons is simply not that interesting anyway, and having the cast singing the hit songs instead of lip-synching the originals is a disaster. As lame as Frankie Valli's falsetto screeching was, the actor's is worse yet. There was not a single sympathetic character in the whole mess and I found it impossible to care about their wasted money and lives. If you are an ancient fan you'll probably love this for its nostalgia, period sets, old cars and costumes, but they even got the dialogue wrong by using figures of speech and expressions from the 21st century in a movie that was supposed to be about the middle of the 20th. Eastwood failed badly.
