when i was in sixth grade (and some of seventh) i was obsessed with this movie. i mean watch it multiple times a month, listen to the four seasons all the fucking time, talk about it non stop (so much so that even though i stopped talking about it by the end of seventh grade, my friend from then still considers it a big part of me). thanks jersey boys you gave sixth grade me immense happiness. im sad you’re not on netflix anymore (not like id watch it anyways)
The music was a tad cringy. Just didn't hold a candle to the original recordings. They should have recorded them like traditional musicals because the music sounded hollow. The story is a little depressing for a musical to my taste as well.
It's not cutting edge cinema, but if you enjoy the music, you will enjoy the movie.
This was OK. Haven't seen as many Clint Eastwood movies as I would have liked but Jersey Boys is a pretty good film. It helps that the actors can actually sing and as someone who likes the Four Seasons, it was good to see the film play out - it was incredibly atmospheric and reminded me a lot of Goodfellas, only with added music.

It took me a while to get into it, but the final hour or so won me over.
'Jersey Boys' is, in my eyes, very good. I only knew of the film's title and vaguely what the group did beforehand; I knew so little that I assumed their name was 'Jersey Boys', rather than 'The Four Seasons'. I did recognise a few of the songs, though only ones at the end. Even with that so, it was interesting to see the story develop.
John Lloyd Young, Erich Bergen, Michael Lomenda and Vincent Piazza are all enjoyable in their respective roles, with the standouts being Young and Piazza. The support cast, which notably includes Christopher Walken, all give more than satisfactory showings.
Kinda surprised me, this one. As alluded to, I wasn't really feeling it across the opening chunk of the 134 minute run time and yet by the end I felt happy at what I had just watched. Recommended.
