Beyond the Sea (2004)


A music biography by Kevin Spacey, co-starring John Goodman.
The life and career of Bobby Darin is shown.
The film starts with a failed rendition of Mack the Knife that segues into Bobby Darin making a film about himself. The boy who is supposed to play him as a child says he knows more about Bobby than Bobby does. This leads to Mr. Darin discussing his life with the boy in the form of one long flashback. I like Bobby Darin's music (especially Mack the Knife), so this was a little fun to watch. I was disappointed by the lack of drug problems, but all stars aren't junkies. I'm rating this adequate.
