The Jazz Singer Reviews

... A safe vehicle for any newcomer to the widescreen because the storyline has universal appeal. [Full review in Spanish]

| Mar 28, 2023

…a wildly amusing film, a vanity project from a star who has got little to be modest about…

| Original Score: 3/5 | Sep 27, 2022

The protagonist manages to get through his dilemma between a profane love and home, with the help of Laurence Olivier, at the helm of the veteran Richard Fleischer, and under the umbrella of a soundtrack that will please its fans. [Full Review in Spanish]

Stick with Jolson's version via 1927. Or even the Danny Thomas take. Skip Neil.

The third and, one hopes, final remake of THE Jazz Singer is the least interesting attempt so far.

| Original Score: 1/4 | Jan 8, 2008

The most cautious soft-rock superstar movie debut you'll ever get to see.

Diamond tries his best. Olivier over compensates, but the songs are classic.

The Jazz Singer has so many things wrong with it that a review threatens to become a list.

| Original Score: 1/4 | Oct 23, 2004

Mr. Diamond, looking glum and seldom making eye contact with anyone, isn't enough of a focus for the outmoded story.

The roughest of Diamonds, this will only interest fans of the singer and those with a passion for poor pictures.

An unintentional laff riot. Olivier is so over the top that it's mesmerizing.
