Product Description
Jersey Boys (DVD) From Oscar®-winning director Clint Eastwood (Million Dollar Baby, Unforgiven) comes the big-screen adaptation of the Tony Award-winning musical. JERSEY BOYS tells the story of four young men from the wrong side of the tracks in New Jersey who came together to form the legendary 1960s rock group The Four Seasons. John Lloyd Young reprises his Tony-winning role of legendary lead singer Frankie Valli, alongside Erich Bergen as the group's co-writer Bob Gaudio. The story of their trials and triumphs are accompanied by the songs that influenced a generation, including "Sherry," Big Girls Don't Cry," Walk Like a Man," and many more --classic hits that are now being embraced by a new generation of fans through the musical that's been running on Broadway for more than eight years.

For me it was like the quote from Mike Wilber NBC news, "Clint Eastwood brings the magic to the screen" (Eastwood is the director) . But you HAVE to love the sixties music to get this movie and to enjoy it because that much of the movie IS that...and to an extent reflects the mind and hearts of those of us from that era, which that music was so appealing to. (Simple, sincere, heart, self liberating authenticity, love, make love not war, question authority (but dont shoot them!), BE the change you want to see, and so on)
i loved this movie. LOVE the music, the story itself, the acting, the lighthearted presentation of serious incidents /acts/decisions with serious consequences, that makes anyone walk away feeling freer and easier about their own challenges too and that they will simply not take us down. A fabulously well done portrayal of the characters by the actors. The music is fantastic if you liked those "oldies" which i always have (i am from that time so especially relate). At first i thought i was going to be bored, things seemed a little trite and slow moving or like it might be dumb drama but (it wasn't...it was well done actually and after you watch the rest you understand the slower pace and what seems like its dumb wasn't ...in the whole context of what is coming. Once the film got past the focus on introducing the characters and the opening story line and moved deeper into the real and true deeper personal issues, dreams, desires, struggles with blocks to these and keeping hope up, the pace picks up and the music gets EVEN better and better and the plot more interesting, especially because it's revealing the private thoughts, feelings and challenges of the musicians and mostly about the main character, Frankie Valli and what we or most of us didn't know about him. I always loved their music (The four seasons) but seeing what we didn't get to see in those days....enhances our experience of the music and the mere existence of this group and how they did what they did and how it evolved. Their story is worth knowing: how they got to be together in a group....how they worked with each other, their original name for their original "group" and how Frankie's incredibly unique voice and style and words to his songs changed and grew with his own personal growth. And what a mesmerizing voice it was and became even more so. Just hearing and watching them sing was worth seeing the movie but they gave you much more than that. I fell in love with all the guys and their different ways of seeing and doing things, and then seeing how such an incredibly diverse group of individuals could come together and produce such incredible sound/harmony in most provocative sounding blend of all their voices , instruments, and different personalities . It was very very interesting too to see the kind of person Frankie really was on the inside and to get to know him and the others from that perspective. That and more that you have to see the film to appreciate, made me and others i know want to see this movie again and again....just for the sheer fun and joy that is in it even in the midst of some of the seriously difficult times. I can watch it over and over and not at all be bored like at first i thought i was going to be..It's completely the opposite affect.
It is not any kind of hugely impactful or dramatic presentation as some films are when about some person's private life who was a "star". I think though it does leave you with new insights and understanding about people , maybe even yourself , that you don't realize at the time because OF how light hearted it is and they ARE, that that catches up with later (what are some unexpected influences on how you see your own life and your mind and heart too) as it just sort of takes you on a journey ...a ride through the hearts and minds and music of these really actually beautiful souls. And makes you want to know them and be their friends too. I think it is the kind of movie you want to see when you are not into heavy drama...or dumb comedy (this IS funny , but really funny not dumbed down humor or that you have to be stupid to get it. And when it's done you feel like dancing and singing yourself. or watching it again for the feeling you get from it and the experience of almost being there with them as though you are one of them, learning what they are, overcoming the same challenges, and faced with the same kinds of decisions and keeping yourself going forward and happy so you have soemthing worth giving to those you love....and to yourself. That is what i took away from it. Hmmm. Maybe i will just go and see it again now....smile.
