I loved Beyond the Sea. I never once thought Kevin was too old to play this part. I am now a Kevin Spacey fan. He did a fantastic job of singing and not to mention dancing. Doris Day and Fred Astaire were always my favorites so you can imagine why I loved this movie.I always loved musicals when I was a kid so it was a like a breath of fresh air when this movie came along. The only part I didn't like was how they portrayed his sister/mother. They made her look like a slob with her big hair and too much make-up. Not to mention her loudness. Not until the last sense did she look half decent. I mean come on she couldn't have looked that bad back then.

i was prepared to watch this movie because i didnt know
much about the singer, only the film title song, and because kevin spacey not only plays the title role, but is basically behind the making of the film. what i wasnt prepared for was just how much of a lavish, surprising, diamond of a film that it turned out to be. i was so taken back, i had to stop the film about halfway through to watch all over again. i didnt want it to end!!! basically, not just a run of the mill biopic, it is a unique, sensitive
labour of love from one of the most talented performers out there today. spacey simply creates magic onscreen, singing as well as darin, dancing as well as estaire (and
making it look cool too!) a tribute to a great singer, as
well as a bigonne era of cinema, simply magic. please dont let the plain trailer fool you. what a great movie!!!
