Grew up on the Four Seasons. It was a great time to be an adolescent.
How do you do FOUR thumbs up? I can only do three.
Eastwood had a #1 hit on the country ( US and Canadian ) charts in 1980, “Bar Room Buddies” (with Merle Haggard) so his connection to music isn’t as far away as it seems.

We count my husband’s thumbs + mine!
I did not know that. I noticed that there was a Kyle Eastwood in the credits. Relative?
BTW, that’s a great song. I’d never heard it before.
Glad to hear the good review. I thought the trailers were good. I’ll watch it when it comes out on DVD.
Thanks,

Thanks,
Clint’s son with Maggie Johnson who he was married to
from 1953–1984 ( divorced ).
It must have been opened up quite a bit - the show was a simple jukebox musical, although very popular.
It is awesome! We went the 2nd or 3rd day it was out as we really wanted to see it. The whole theater full of people sang along and as you said, stayed through the credits. We even bought the soundtrack for our iPod, something I haven’t done since probably 1990.
Kyle is his son. He also had a part in Grand Torino. He played the creep who was hassling the neighbor girl when Eastwood drove up in his pick-up and rescued her.
Did not know that. Thanks.
FYI...there is a group called “Oh What a Night” that puts on one of the BEST live shows we’ve ever seen. We caught then on Pride of America in Hawaii. Their website is ohwhatanighttribute.com. Their schedule is there, don’t miss them if they come close to you. Loved Jersey Boys, did you also notice Franky Valli was a co-producer? He is in his 80’s now. Came home and bought their greatest hits album.
Did not notice that. I was enjoying the music too much. We saw Frankie Valli live with the Milwaukee POPs about 15 years ago. It was a good show.
BTW, I didn’t even mention the costumes, which were perfect. Frankie’s daughter even carried a cowhide purse just like one I had in the late 1960s. I bought it from a street vendor in Berkeley.
Agreed. Excellent movie.
Great review, I can’t wait to see this movie. I’ve been trying to get hubby to go see it on Broadway for ages, but I think I’ll be able to drag him to the movie.
My wife and I absolutely loved it. Great movie. Stuff I never knew about their lives.
