Just saw the movie.....didn't think it was that good

Rating: 5/10 (21 June 2014)

OK, if I had never seen the Broadway Show, or for that matter any of the Road Shows, my experience may have been better but since I've seen both (at least 15 times) it didn't really entertain me. In fact I left an hour into the movie.
Why?
Well for one thing I didn't think the performance of the 4 main characters was very tight. As an example if you've seen a live performance the choreography is excellent. In the movie when the 4 Seasons are performing they are out of sync. Yeah, maybe I'm not picking.
In the a live performance when My Boyfriend's Back is performed by Stacey Orrico, Brittany Snow and Vanessa Lengies it's a perfect rendition of the Angels, the movie? Not as good in any context, vocally or otherwise.
Another difference is the energy level of the actors and actresses. In a live performance they seem to feed off the audience, in the movie they seem much flatter. I often remarked that I didn't know how the stage performers could maintain such a high level of performance given the fact that the repeat the same show every single day, yet the movie performance just didn't have the same energy level for me.
Overall I'm certain this movie will do well in the box office but as far as I'm concerned it doesn't compare to the live show and in that regard was disappointing.
To be fair the others in the audience seemed to be enjoying themselves so it's safe to assume that the majority of viewers will enjoy this movie.
