Jersey Boys
Before there was the "Jersey Shores", there were the "Jersey Boys".
Based on the Broadway musical, director Clint Eastwood remasters the behind-the-scenes story of how the iconic sounds of Frankie Valli and The Four Seasons came to be. If you are old enough, it is a nostalgic timeline (1951-1990) trip down memory lane punctuated by the list of their greatest hits. See how music used to be made and played. See the darker side of their success and rise to fame. Alien loved the music and the personal insight to the men behind the music. Eastwood orchestrates a wonderful blend of drama and music with a healthy dose of theatrical asides.
Alien gives it 3 ½ "Eastwood does a Hitchcock" stars out of 4.
