Review of Jersey Boys (2014) by Barry S — 23 Jun 2014
"Jersey Boys." I was expecting the music to come exploding out of the theater speakers like the stage performance did. The stage production featured an incredibly punchy bass line for each song which is lacking in the movie.
The stage performance was totally electric. This was kind of battery operated. In the Eastwood direction, it feels like it is starting with the premise that everyone has already seen the stage production and that we're all just here for the repeat.
So much more could have been done with this movie. It was good, but not nearly as good as it could have been.
