Review of Jersey Boys (2014) by Scribjelly — 09 Jan 2015

I really did enjoy the movie, but I found it fell far short of the theater production. It cut out or cut short many of the songs and scenes that made the play great (such as the silhouettes scene which was one of my favorites), and seemed to focus more on the dramatized story of the group, with the music pushed well to the side.

I also disliked the use of original four seasons material, such as Stay, as background music, and would have preferred to see the cast sing it live.
