Jersey Boys 2014
6.8 / 10
Jersey Boys
A musical biopic of the Four Seasons—the rise, the tough times and personal clashes, and the ultimate triumph of a group of friends whose music became symbolic of a generation. Far from a mere tribute concert, it gets to the heart of the relationships at the centre of the group, with a special focus on frontman Frankie Valli, the small kid with the big falsetto.

**From the streetlight to the spotlight.** I know who's the director, but not the actors. Maybe that's the reason the film did not do as expected at the box office. But still theirs performances are not forgettable. Every one of them was amazing, they are the real singers and so the jobs done easily. I mean the filmmaking who understood the story and its characters and delivered accordingly. You might have seen many similar biopics and this is almost the same, but still there's lots to inspire from what you see. Since this music genre is different compared to the todays trend in the music industry, this film quite clearly brings back the 50s, 60s eras for us. So that's how this story appeals to its viewers. It was about the four member music band and their journey through the success and struggles for decades. What inspires is that, they are nothing like we see in todays musicians like drugs and sex stuffs. But the story had its share in those things, which might have been a huge for that time. The family, friends and music, the films very beautifully defines the differences. Between professional and personal life, how they lose grips is what obviously we see regularly in all the musician's biopics, but I'm talking about 50 years ago society and lifestyle. The things are different and how they managed or did they is the film to reveal. I really liked it and I wanted to rate higher, but I was bored a bit because it was a very long film. The pace was okay, so I managed and I think it is worth a watch, but only for the selected audience. _7/10_

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.
