I hadn't seen this film in many years, and forgot how good it was. Neil Diamond gives a surprising performance as Jess Robin, a Jewish cantor who wants to be a rock star. The songs are great, and the story very moving. I would highly recommend this DVD to anyone who has ever had a lifetime dream, but was afraid to persue it. I think you'll enjoy the story.
Loved the way the music is intermingled with the story. Unlike many musical, the characters do not suddenly break into song in the middle of a conversation. The songs are presented as actual performances or as background music for the film. The critics panned this movie when it was first released, but as with many movies, the critics are wrong about this movie. I strongly recommend it. Particularly if you are a Neil Diamond fan.
I have grown to be a big fan of Neil Diamond's voice and you hear him sing plentifully in this classic movie. The theme to the movie is a little bit predictable, however, it is a newer rendition compared to original "The Jazz Singer." Also seeing Lucie Arnaz in her acting reminds me of how great her parents were. I wanted to have this DVD because of the great music. Many of these songs are still a hit.
I really like it, I bought it because I let someone borrow mine and never got it back!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!.............................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................And I wanted to see The Jazz Singer again.............................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................Read full review
