Beyond the Sea

About a year late, I gave this movie a viewing. I was impressed with Kevin Spacey's singing, but there wasn't a whole lot else that thrilled me. There were a lot of interesting elements, but I dont' think they combined into a cohesive whole. Told from the perspective of a Bobby Darin biography as made by Darin and his young self, the movie moves beyond performance segments into movie-musical style production numbers. These, however, have a dark tone that is reminiscent of All That Jazz, but fails to achieve that films beautiful-but-eerie nature.
