Movie Reviews

Bullz-Eye.com - 10/10 by Will HarrisThere's one thing that neither Neil Diamond nor Danny Thomas nor even Jerry Lewis had in their versions: the unrivaled showmanship and charisma of Al Jolson.
Variety - 10/10 by Sid SilvermanUndoubtedly the best thing Vitaphone has ever put on the screen.
Ozus' World Movie Reviews - 9/10 by Dennis SchwartzThe Broadway melodrama is schmaltzy, but the music thank God is heavenly.
EmanuelLevy.Com - 8/10 by Emanuel LevyThe Jazz Singer is not a good picture artistically, but it's historically significant and Al Johnson is truly entertaining
The A.V. Club - 8/10 by Noel MurrayAs for its quality as an actual movie, well, The Jazz Singer is hardly great, but it provides solid melodrama and a valuable look at the ethnic stereotypes of early-20th-century entertainment.
Tim Dirks' The Greatest Films - 8/10 by Tim DirksWarner Bros.' The Jazz Singer (1927) is an historic milestone film and cinematic landmark. [Most people associate this film with the advent of sound pictures.]
Mountain Xpress (Asheville, NC) - 8/10 by Ken HankeSincere and important, if a little self-aware, look at being Jewish in a way other movies of the time weren't touching.
Movie Metropolis - 7/10 by John J. Puccio...there's no taking away from the movie's heart and Jolson's singing. The Jazz Singer remains a classic of its kind.
ReelTalk Movie Reviews - 6/10 by Donald J. LevitOf its time, surely, 'The Jazz Singer' is nevertheless better than one expects going in.
New York Times - 6/10 by Mordaunt HallThe Vitaphoned songs and some dialogue have been introduced most adroitly. This in itself is an ambitious move, for in the expression of song the Vitaphone vitalizes the production enormously. The dialogue is not so effective, for it does not always catch the nuances of speech or inflections of the voice so that one is not aware of the mechanical features.
