Additional InformationAdapted from the 2006 Tony Winner for Best Musical, this bittersweet saga dramatiSes the rise and fall of Frankie Valli and the Four Seasons - one of the key pop groups of the early '60s, responsible for such iconic hits as 'Sherry', 'Walk Like a Man' and 'Big Girls Don't Cry'. The story opens in New Jersey, where young Francesco Castelluccio (John Lloyd Young) and his buddies face a narrow window of future career options. Their possible paths include show business on one hand and organised crime on the other, embodied by the slightly menacing yet avuncular kingpin, Angelo 'Gyp' DeCarlo (Christopher Walken), who runs the neighbourhood and keeps an eye on them. The boys begin to nurture dreams of becoming musical stars, goals that seem far out of reach until they invite Francesco to perform with them in their band, then rename him Frankie Valli; his unique falsetto vocals captivate the girls in the audience, which provides a sign of things to come. The young hopefuls sign a contract at the Brill Building and begin doing backup vocals for record producer Bob Crewe (Mike Doyle), but experience frustration when Crewe drags his feet on recording them as a solo act. Later, the performers name themselves The Four Seasons after feeling inspired by an unusual source. They add songwriter-musician Bob Gaudio (Erich Bergen) and the equation is complete; Crewe hears Gaudio's composition 'Sherry', decides to double-track Valli's voice, and helps create a national sensation. Later, however, certain difficulties begin to take their toll on the band - including financial problems, inner rivalries and tensions between the bandmates, and Valli's long periods on the road away from his wife and daughters. Clint Eastwood directs, from a screenplay by the co-authors of the original musical, Marshall Brickman and Rick Elice.
ReviewsIndependent - Eastwood's film version is a classy affair that goes beyond schmaltz and nostalgia (although it has its fair share of both of these.) One of its pleasures is its recreation of post-war America.

    Oh what a ...poor film

    We have been blessed to see the Jersey Boys on the stage three times and really enjoyed the storyline. We were not expecting a carbon copy on film but this does not do the stage show any favours and the characters ( although great actors) are awful. It is a struggle to watch in places because the parts are so dry and only the songs shine through.

  • Great story. Great music.

    Having seen the Jersey Boys musical a couple of times I can wholeheartedly recommend this dvd for those nights when you just want to stay in with the lights low and the fire glowing. It's as good as the West End show but without the need to pay those extortionate prices. The story line is accurate and the music fantastic. Go on, treat yourself, You won't regret it, I promise.

  • The Jerseys boys

    My wife and I have been to see the Musical at London theatres 4 times as we enjoy the Jersey boys Music. I purchased the DVD to try and get the enjoyment we have experience when one sees the live shows. The songs are still all there but in my opinion there is too much acting and not enough pure music. Still worth seeing is you have not seen the live show and enjoy the Jersey boy sound.
