Review of Jersey Boys (2014) by Lyn — 04 Jul 2014

The worst thing about "Jersey Boys," you already know if you've read bios of your favorite musicians, artists, actors: that the artistic endeavors that bring you such joy don't necessarily spring from joy on the part of their originators.

So as a fan from way back, I found the Four Seasons' backstories interesting and well-acted, if kind of sordid at times. Not quibbling with the approach of the film itself (except for the ripoff of the "Slumdog Millionaire" ending).

But I would have loved more of the music -- and maybe more of the joy.
