Good but not as good as i had hoped

Rating: Null/10 (9 October 2014)

The story of Frankie Villi and the four seasons is nothing but extraordinary tale that is sad, happy, emotional, funny and full of great music, however i feel Clint missed the magic here , when making this and its a shame because a little more work and it could have been the hit of 2014 rather than, "just another OK movie". It may well do better on DVD but i very much doubt it, the way things are with DVD sales these days. The main character was played by John Lloyd Young who wasn't to bad but wasn't to good either, he came across as a pitiful man and didn't have the vocals to make you go cold like the real Frankie and the amazing Ryan Molloy who played the part for 6 years in London England's version on Broadway, his vocals should have been used because some of vocals where not good, Ryan molloy was i believe told that Clint Eastwood may use him for vocals only but it never came about. Vincent Piazza played a good part in the role of Tommy devito. I enjoyed it but like i say it just missed something. I hope this movie is made again because i think it could work if done better, or maybe its just one of them strange things about Broadway that because its so good it cant be matched or beaten on the big screen, please go out and watch it , but if you get the choice go see the Broadway one first.
