The life of crooner/actor Bobby Darin is presented as part fact, part fiction and much fantasy. It is framed around a biopic being filmed about and starring Darin as himself, with he being surrounded by many of his lifelong entourage from the Bronx. In that fantasy, the young actor portraying him as a child in the biopic emerges as his true younger self, questioning, knowing all, if his adult self wants the biopic to be all sugar and roses, as is the want of his manager, Stev...

Full Plot Details

The life of crooner/actor Bobby Darin is presented as part fact, part fiction and much fantasy. It is framed around a biopic being filmed about and starring Darin as himself, with he being surrounded by many of his lifelong entourage from the Bronx. In that fantasy, the young actor portraying him as a child in the biopic emerges as his true younger self, questioning, knowing all, if his adult self wants the biopic to be all sugar and roses, as is the want of his manager, Steve Blauner, or if he wants to tell the truth. Regardless, what is presented of his life includes: his sickly childhood - where he was not expected to survive past his teens - with his vaudevillian mother, Polly Cassotto, his musical mentor, and his much older sister, Nina Cassotto, both who ultimately lived vicariously through his fame; his early singing career where the ultimate goal was not to rival but surpass the fame of Frank Sinatra; the meeting of who would become his wife, already famous actress Sandra Dee - his costar in his first movie role - he needing to win over her protective stage mother, Mary Douvan, to get to Sandra; their turbulent marriage due to the competing priorities of work and family, and their respective egos not allowing each to celebrate the other's success; his turn to political activism in the late 1960s during the changing times when his style of music was no longer in vogue; what affected his thoughts of running for political office himself; and how he tried to reinvent his singer self in the early 1970s.

Movie Reviews

San Jose Mercury News - 10/10 by Bruce NewmanThis 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.
FilmJerk.com - 9/10 by Brian OrndorfSpacey's tinkering is perplexing, and conspires against the real reason any film about Darin should be made: to showcase Darin's sublime natural abilities.
Laramie Movie Scope - 9/10 by Robert RotenThe musical and dance numbers in the film are excellent. The story is compelling.
FilmStew.com - 9/10 by Larry CarrollThe artist formerly known as Keyser Soze reminds us with every classic high note in the titular song that we're listening to a facsimile with a weaker range.
Blogcritics.org - 9/10 by Alan DaleYou can't get much more Hollywood than a movie about a performer in which success is synonymous with quality.
AboutFilm.com - 9/10 by Carlo CavagnaThe film winds up being more a celebration of Spacey than Darin.
Movie Reviews in Croatian - 9/10 by Victoria AlexanderA vainglorious valentine, but either act or direct. Please don't do both.
Mixed Reviews - 9/10 by Gabriel ShanksA vain attempt not only to restore Darin's place in history, but to improve upon it... Colick's underdeveloped screenplay has trouble placing Darin's life onto a heroic scale.
Blunt Review - 9/10 by Emily BluntBeyond the Sea is a beautiful whirlwind musical homage to crooner Bobby Darin's remarkable career and astonishing life...
The Stranger (Seattle, WA) - 9/10 by Sean NelsonBeyond the Sea ranks among the worst films of its sub-subgenre because its director/star only seems interested in making the film to exploit his remarkable physical resemblance to the title character.
