If you like musicals this is for you. If you have seen the play and know what to expect you will get more. Credit goes to Clint Eastwood for taking the play and adding cinematic elements to take the story to a higher level. The muted cinematography and editing are noteworthy.
The cast is outstanding and on track for award consideration. Even Christopher Walken doesn't distract. The movie is a tad long, slows at points, and has some sad issues, but by the end credits you want more.
If you like the music and sound of Frankie Vali and the Four Seasons you will have a good time at the movies. See it in a theater with a big screen and big sound.
