Review of Jersey Boys (2014) by Jenn G — 22 Jun 2014

I am a huge fan of the stage version of Jersey Boys, having seen 16+ times. Clint Eastwood, Marshall Brickman and Rick Elice have done a phenomenal job bringing this from stage to screen. What I enjoyed most is that it still has that "live theater" feel but masterfully weaves in the cinematic touches needed to make it "sing" on screen.

I've always said that the what these guys went through and their ability to come out on top is amazing; this movie really drives that home. I highly recommend this to anyone who's a fan of the music, a fan of mob stories and/or fans of documentaries.

There is some strong "Jersey" language so it's not for the young kids but it is certainly for everyone else!
