Adaptation of Tony Award-winning musical that tells the story of the Four Seasons. John Lloyd Young plays Frankie Valli (as he did on Broadway) and you can definitely see the similarities when the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame induction is reenacted. It's kind of tricky to get into the music right away… but when they break into "Sherry", you can't help but be mesmerized. Bergen, Lomenda and Piazza are all excellent as well, and Christopher Walken make a fun addition to the cast… and let's not forget Joey Russo as Joey Pesci. The closing credits, while an homage to the musical, just ends up being corny. Be prepared to have the songs of Frankie Valli and the Four Seasons stuck in your head for several days. SOPRANOS fans will recognize some faces; fitting, considering that Valli actually had a recurring role on the show.
