Kevin Spacey has an obvious fake nose, he tries hard and fails to dance like Gene Kelley, John Goodman mumbles all the time and Kate Bosworth has an obviously out of context valley girl voice! This movie is truly pitiful, the... Full review

Kevin Stacey's performance - especially his live singing was outstanding, and for that reason I give this one an A- rating. Otherwise the movie was good but not great. For someone between my age and 15 years older, it brought back... Full review

Um. i don't really enjoy watching this movie. i only liked well..... when he smashed his car with a bat. That was funny. The movie was pretty dumb (to me at least). He can sing good though. Like the real "BOBBY".... Full review

This is probably a good movie for fans of the singer. Being only 28 and not a fan of this kind of music, a C+ is the best I could give this movie. I think Kevin Spacey is a great actor... Full review

No, it's not a great film.
I think it's really well directed, this film.
The song and dance numbers are exuberantly done
MARGARET: You see, I enjoyed the songs but not the dances.

Maybe " Beyond the Sea " would work better as a Broadway play, or a cabaret show.
The music is wonderful.
It is already known that he is one of the best actors alive today.
The lovely Kate Bosworth is great as Sandra Dee.

Unfortunately the rest of the film doesn't measure up to the same standard of excellence.
The film co-stars Brenda Blethyn, Bob Hoskins, John Goodman, and Kate Bosworth as his famous movie star wife Sandra Dee.

This is a really long and boring movie that serves very little purpose other than to pay tribute to an idol.
But Spacey seems to want to put Darin's whole song list into the movie, which by the fifth song starts to get tiresome.
