Review of Beyond the Sea (2004) by Lee W — 20 Aug 2007
For those who cannot "suspend disbelief" in order to enjoy a musical, this movie is probably not for you. For me, "Beyond the Sea" was awesome. Some say Kevin Spacey was too old to pull off a 20-something Bobby Darin.
Wrong! Kevin Spacey's acting captures the essence of Bobby Darin; after the first ten minutes of the movie it seemed that Kevin Spacey WAS Bobby Darin irrespective of age. His singing, acting & dancing was fantastic, and it's a performance that should not be short-changed.
I loved "Beyond the Sea" and would watch it again and again. I am not sure if it will attract a "Younger" viewing audience but for me this is a "Must-see".
