Jersey Boys is a biopic that tells the story of the Four Seasons. It is based on the musical of the same name, of which both are based on the true story of the formation and downfall of the Four Seasons.
I really liked this movie. I went into the film only knowing the music and a general outline of the story and I found the film to be very interesting. As I was watching the movie I wasn't sure how accurate the story was, just because it seemed kind of dramatized. However, once I did some research I discovered it was actually pretty accurate. I was happy to learn that the writers stuck to the true storyline because I don't enjoy biopics where the story ventures far from the truth. I was surprised at how sad and tragic each band member's story was, especially Frankie Valli's. I loved watching the scenes where the band performed live, and the end scene was one of my favorite parts of the whole film. I also was pleased with the casting. I liked that they casted guys in their 30's which was the age of the actual band members when they rose to fame, but said guys were able to also look like teenagers and 5o year olds for other parts of the film. I also liked that it showed the darker sides of the band's story, since some films only show the happier parts of someone's career. As a lover of music from past decades I really loved learning about the band and I would recommend this biopic.

AuthorHello fellow film lovers! Just a little bit about me: I love movies from the Old Hollywood era, especially musicals. In general, my movie taste is a bit all over the place. I don't really stick to one genre, as I just watch whatever looks interesting! I look forward to broadening my horizons in terms of film and reviewing them to the best of my ability in an honest way. Reading another passion of mine, and I'm frequently told I have an old soul, so expect to see a lot of older films being reviewed. I hope you can find what you need here! Archives
