It Has Its Musical Moments

Rating: 8/10 (6 July 2015)

This film by Clint Eastwood is a theatrical version of the stage musical Jersey Boys which narrates the story of the rock iconic group Four Seasons during their early days back in the 1960's. Many songs from the group are featured such as "Can't Take My Eyes Off You","Sherry","Big Girls Don't Cry","Walk Like a Man","My Eyes Adored You" and many others.
The screenplay written by Marshall Brickman and Rick Elice tells the story of four young men from New Jersey who are growing up on the wrong side decide to form a singing group that later become an legendary band that released many classic songs.
The film definitely has its musical moments especially when the classic songs are being played on screen.But the positive things about it ends right here as the film is somehow not energetic and interesting as the story of the group is being told.In the end,the music somehow overshadows everything in the movie from the comedic scenes,the characters and the acting.
