I really like it! The various performance scenes seem to take place in *tiny rooms* though. It looks a bit more reserved and subtle than the show is.

Excited to see it

Here's a thought, Aces... why don't YOU discuss? Did you like it? Hate it? Have no cohesive ideas? I always hate these "discuss" missives when the original poster doesn't even offer up his/her opinions.

I've been worrying since the announcement that this would end up like other movie adaptations but I'm glad to see that by the looks of thing I needn't have worried! The only thing that concerns me is the fact that Tommy and Nick don't look much older than Frankie and Bob.

It looks great -- I was surprised the talking-to-the camera thing was happening, but maybe I shouldn't have been. The colors are amazing. They remind me of my parents' photo slides from that era.

I'm so excited for this movie. I've seen the trailer on youtube about 10 times now. It looks amazing. I hope this movie will be in IMAX like when I saw Les Miserable in theatres.

Once I heard that Clint Eastwood was signed on as director, I knew we would be in very capable hands and I never had a doubt it would turn out good. And now that the first trailer is out, I've never felt so happy to be right - it looks fantastic!

It looks really good. Wonder if I can convince my husband to see it--he loves Clint Eastwood.


Jimmy, what are you doing here in the middle of the night? It's almost 9 PM!

All I can say to this is ------ what a BITCH.

But if this is your lame attempt to become the biggest bitch in broadwaybitchville, you already have quite a number of bitches in front of you, so you better up your bitch game, and fast.

Didn't like the stage show but the trailer makes me really want to see this-just love the colouring the way it captures that era.

I imagine this will attract the audience not interested in the blockbusters but I hope the R rating doesn't hurt its chances though.

It look pretty faithful to the stage show although I do wonder if any changes have been made or songs cut to make it work as a film.

Looks like crap -- by the numbers crap, and it sounds like hell, fingernails on a chalkboard. Of course, what can one expect from Clint Eastwood.

My only complaint is that Bob Crewe seems to not be a big old queen any more.

I've never really wanted to see the musical, but the movie looks pretty good. It looks like they captured the era pretty well. I'll definitely be seeing this over the summer.

The breaking the fourth wall thing does look a little cheesy though. I know that's how it's done on stage, but it doesn't always translate to film well as a storytelling technique.
