…a straight bio-pic, with diegetic music only either as the soundtrack to montages or when the band perform…

| Original Score: 3/5 | Sep 16, 2022

Eastwood’s firmly established love of music doesn’t necessarily mean he’s attuned to the snappy, energetic presentation this production required to both channel the Broadway show and ensnare moviegoers.

| Original Score: 2/4 | Aug 15, 2022

Clint Eastwood's admittedly classy take on the Tony Award-winning Jersey Boys lacks the energy of Dreamgirls and the showmanship of Chicago.

| Jan 22, 2022

Jersey Boys is rousing, fun and beautifully made. There's none of the saccharin gloss one might expect, given the mob connections and inter-band conflicts.

| Oct 7, 2021

As it is, clocking in at more than two hours, Jersey Boys is both heavy-handed and superficial.

| Feb 26, 2021

Like a coin-operated jukebox that relies on push buttons, stacks of vinyl and electric inner workings to make music, Jersey Boys feels like a mechanical retelling of the popular Broadway show.

| Original Score: 2/5 | Feb 1, 2021

You'll likely be so caught up in the film's catchy music and spirit that you won't much mind occasional liberties and factual errors.

| Original Score: 3.0/4.0 | Sep 12, 2020

It made me like the Four Seasons less

It's Debbie Downer does broadway

| Mar 26, 2020

An American Dream story with an authentic period piece feel due to clever filmmaking.

| Original Score: 3/4 | Jan 22, 2020

Whatever you call it, it operates under the same purpose as trying to fit a donut through a keyhole.

| Dec 16, 2019

Clint Eastwood's cinematic treatment of musical Jersey Boys plays it safe in nearly every possible regard.

| Original Score: 2.5/5 | Aug 30, 2019

This well-crafted screen adaptation is not about to let the hits (Sherry, Oh What a Night, Big Girls Don't Cry etc.) do all the heavy lifting, allowing the storytelling to get off lightly.

| Original Score: 3/5 | Aug 16, 2019

Jersey Boys is almost frustrating in a way. The entire time we are aching for the film to wow us. Sadly, it never really does.

| Aug 8, 2019

Yes, there's no Eastwood stamp stylistically, but he directs superb performances from the central quartet - and commendably without a whiff of jazz hands.

| Original Score: 4/5 | Jun 14, 2019

A largely dull music industry saga, more 온라인카지노추천 movie than vibrant celebration of American youth culture.

| Original Score: 2/5 | Mar 26, 2019

The four protagonists, led by Young... simply shine. They create spot-on covers of the original songs and there is no denying their musical nous, harmonious singing voices and energy of their performances.

| Mar 5, 2019

Eastwood's Jersey Boys has its flaws... But, there's still the music.

| Jan 31, 2019

Young reprises his Broadway role and is adequate, but like the rest of the film it's a performance that never quite provides an emotional investment for the audience.

| Original Score: C | Jan 24, 2019

The music is great and there are even a few goose-bump moments when Frankie teams up with his writing partner and they try out a new hit. Nevertheless, when the music isn't playing, the film is nothing more than a cursory timeline of the group.

| Original Score: 5/10 | Nov 3, 2018
