And if we knew 2 members were ex-cons....really "relelvant, Mr. Roeper..HUH?? Contrary to your puzzling review, I ,and others found the film completely entertaining, and well balanced between music and story. Eastwood and Co. did their usual outstanding job.
Reply from Richard Roeper I stand by my review.
Dennis Lindberg said on Friday, June 20, 2014 8:25:33 PM Disappointing except for the musical numbers; especially Can't Take My Eyes Off of You and the closing "curtain call" number. To me the performances felt forced and I felt bombarded by the accents. I didn't dislike it but expected more. For me a 5.5 or 6 on a scale of 10.
