The music was worth the ride, and watching Spacey have so much fun was a blast.

I think those that get overly nit picky about Spacey looking to old and the young kid narrating, seem to lose sight of how entertaining the film was and the fact that Spacey did a pretty damn good job at capturing his spirit of life lived I think those that get overly nit picky about Spacey looking to old and the young kid narrating, seem to lose sight of how entertaining the film was and the fact that Spacey did a pretty damn good job at capturing his spirit of life lived and songs sung. Darin was a legend and seems to get pushed aside for the likes of Sinatra and the rat pack but he was every bit as dynamic and one of the greats. Nice flick!… Expand

Spacey is remarkable as the lead actor and his singing is excellent. The movie is a bit strange in it's presentation style, and I think someone else should have directed.

Beyond the Sea never really moves beyond a skin-deep biopic, and always feels off-beat, but Spacey saves the show. His portrayal of Darin is almost spot on, and he has a surprisingly good singing voice. It may try a bit too hard, but it isBeyond the Sea never really moves beyond a skin-deep biopic, and always feels off-beat, but Spacey saves the show.

Beyond the Sea. One of the best voices of the 50s. Kevin Spacey is the real fellow! Independently directed and performed all the musical parts. A little crumpled plot, and you don't always have time to follow the life of the great Bobby, butBeyond the Sea. One of the best voices of the 50s. Kevin Spacey is the real fellow!

This is a reasonably well made film but the plot/story is just so depressing and the main character is distinctly unlikeable. Its interesting I suppose to see what happened but its far from a gripping or engrossing watch, I'd say. KevinThis is a reasonably well made film but the plot/story is just so depressing and the main character is distinctly unlikeable. Its interesting I suppose to see what happened but its far from a gripping or engrossing watch, I'd say. Kevin Spacey (the least said about him the better) plays a rather spoilt, vain man with some decent associates, who have to put up with his strops. Bob Hoskins and John Goodman give decent performances and Kate Bosworth is ok as his other half, Sandra Dee. Its an ok watch but not especially memorable and I wouldn't particularly recommend it as such, no.… Expand
