Jersey Boys [Includes Digital Copy] [DVD] [2014]

THIS IS THE FILM VERSION OF THE MUSICAL JERSEY BOYS. CLINT EASTWOOD DIRECTS A WONDERFULLY HUMAN STORY ABOUT THE RISE OF THE FOUR SEASONS FROM THEIR START IN LOCAL CLUBS TO TV AND RECORDING FAME. IT'S A GREAT PERIOD FILM FROM THE START UNTIL THEIR BREAK UP. GREAT MUSIC AND EXCELLENT PORTRAYALS OF FRANKIE VALLI AND THE GROUP.

Why do you buy Broadway Musicals on DVD? I'd guess that you want to capture the memories of music and performance long after the theater visit (or in lieu of the theater experience). You've already concluded that the actual stage presentation is not as important for you, because this is a translation into a movie presentation, absent the stage. So, is this successful? Many of the stage performers are present, so there is no lip-synching or odd Hollywood star substitutions. The music is all here. The story is fascinating. Eastwood's direction and the production are nicely accomplished if not bright and colorful. For those of us who lived the 50s-70s, this probably reflects our memories rather well. Music is recorded quite well and a quality home TV/theater system will sound up close and live. We liked the movie quite a bit and will reach for it again and again.

If you liked the 4 Seasons, you will really like to know how the group got together, what their lives were like, and some of the problems that they faced even though they were very successful. Very entertaining.

Went to see jersey boys on broadway and loved it. The movie was just as good and would def recommend it

If a family member asks for Jersey Boys on video and they happen to have a Blu-Ray player, this is the perfect movie to get them. Not only is it a Blu-Ray, but it's the combo pack so it has an extra disc for their regular DVD player too. Would have been perfect if they sold a Blu-Ray combo-combo pack with a VHS copy to use in their machine as well. If the family member asked for The Jerky Boys movie, this is a terrible gift.

I grew up listening to frankie valli and the four seasons music and i can honestly say this is one hot movie of facts and entertainment for the whole family. I was singing along with the old hits and having fun. Felt a little sad for frankie's life story but the extras on the dvd made up for the sadness at the end. A must have movie for you music lovers and to bring back some old memories. My next can't wait dvd purchase is "Get on up" a story about another favorite singer of mine "James Brown" to be released in January 2015.

This film is well acted and well directed. The actors are remarkably talented and very believable in this biopic. And although the film is categorized in the "musical" genre, such characterization shouldn't deter non-musical watchers from seeing it. The music merely compliments the story and does not act as a replacement for dialog like other more traditional musicals. Great story, it's humorous, its dramatic and even tragic at times. And you might find yourself singing along to the fantastic music that is so well-known. However, I do wish the Bluray had more special features.

Another rare movie worth watching. Jersey Boys took me back in time. The movie plot is about Frankie Valli and The Four Seasons trials and tribulations climbing the ladder of fame, based on the Broadway play. Clint Eastwood is a great director. I'll watch this movie more than one time. I enjoyed it, though the songs went through my head well into the next day. The audio is cinema quality with a decent surround system. There is a very sad part of Frankie Valli's life in the movie, but it happened.
