Beyond the Sea Reviews
Detroit News
Tom Long
For the most part this movie is a kick to watch, and what a crazy-cool thing for a guy with two Oscars to attempt, a salute from one wandering artist to another.
Orlando Sentinel
Roger Moore
Spacey may worship at the altar of Darin, but the real Bobby was beyond him.
San Jose Mercury News
Bruce Newman
This is one of those rare movies that's so bad it's good, with lavish production numbers in which Spacey sings out of sync with the voice track and dances out of sync with his own feet.
Minneapolis Star Tribune
Jeff Strickler
[Spacey is] someone who is capable of producing, writing, directing, starring and doing his own singing -- and making it all work magnificently.
Washington Post
Ann Hornaday
If Spacey's age problem proves an insurmountable distraction for literalists and Darin fans, his admirers will no doubt relish the chance to watch him sing, dance and basically take over the screen for two hours.
Houston Chronicle
Eric Harrison
Offers little psychological insight into the man beyond his mantra -- 'I want it all. ... I want to surpass Sinatra in everything he does.'
Detroit Free Press
Terry Lawson
Not unpleasant to watch, but it's another movie in which the art direction and costuming, and, of course, the soundtrack, are of more interest than the story, whatever it is.
Boston Globe
Wesley Morris
Your standard biopic boilerplate, with a lot of self-reflexive hokum.
Dallas Morning News
Philip Wuntch
Ostensibly a love letter to Mr. Darin, it's more a love letter from Mr. Spacey to Mr. Spacey.
Chicago Tribune
Michael Wilmington
Beyond the Sea doesn't quite have [that swing]. But it's close.
Chicago Sun-Times
Roger Ebert
The movie possesses genuine feeling because Spacey is there with Darin during all the steps of this journey, up and down, all the way into death.
Austin Chronicle
Marjorie Baumgarten
Much more 'Splish' than 'Splash.'
Lessons of Darkness
Nick Schager
Gimmicky recounting of the crooner's life.
Seattle Times
Moira MacDonald
A movie that gets a few things absolutely right while getting quite a few other things very, very wrong indeed.
CNN.com
Paul Clinton (CNN.com)
Many people under 40 may not even remember Bobby Darin, let alone know about his remarkable life story. Beyond the Sea may rectify that problem and stand as a wonderful tribute to an amazing talent who left us all too soon.
Washington Post
Desson Thomson
This vainglorious biopic about Bobby Darin is really about what the '60s pop singer and actor means to Kevin Spacey.
Denver Post
Michael Booth
The one thing Spacey couldn't do for Beyond the Sea was grow younger. And that's the 'gotta-shut-your-eyes' flaw that keeps Spacey's Bobby Darin biopic from being a great movie, instead of just a good one.
San Francisco Chronicle
Mick LaSalle
Jaw-droppingly awful.
Philadelphia Inquirer
Steven Rea
The film never gives you a real sense of what drove Darin on.
