3.5 out of 10 Far more enjoyable than expected!
Una from Dublin, 15 May 2007
I didn't really expect to like this movie, but I was pleasantly surprised. Spacey is fantastic as Darin and the tunes really do sounds familiar, which helps in making a connection with the characters. Darin's relationship with his wife is (refreshingly) realistic, if a little hyper-dramatic. Not a bad movie to get if nothing else appeals - it hits the spot when you're looking for something just a tiny bit different.

I found this awfully slow and boring, but my other half loves it! Nice to hear the tunes I suppose, but it did nothing for me. Spacey should pick his scripts a bit better IMHO

What's it about....
For Bobby Darin (Kevin Spacey), performing was his life. It kept his heart beating. He came alive onstage, even when he was near collapse offstage. In 'Beyond The Sea', Bobby tells his own story. At age seven, Bobby gets rheumatic fever that damages his heart forever. The doctor tells his mother Polly (Brenda Blethyn) he'll be lucky to live to the age of fifteen. Polly and Bobby's older sister Nina (Caroline Aaron) take care of him, along with Nina's husband Charlie (Bob...
