Jersey Boys Movie Quotes
"Jersey Boys" movie quotes bring the Tony Award-winning Broadway musical to the big screen in a film adaptation. The story, which tells the background of the Four Seasons, was adapted from the musical by Marshall Brickman and Rick Elice. Clint Eastwood directed the musical biographical drama which opened in theaters on June 20, 2014.

In "Jersey Boys," the story of the musical singing group The Four Seasons is told by the four members, Frankie Valli (John Lloyd Young), Bob Gaudio (Eric Bergen), Tommy DeVito (Vincent Piazza) and Nick Massi (Michael Lomenda). Each takes turns telling their version of the events, both good and bad.

From their early beginnings to coming together as a foursome and discovering their signature voice while singing under a street light to when fame led the members into trouble, including turning to Mafia boss Gyp DeCarlo (Christopher Walken) for help, all of their adventures are told as the four guys from New Jersey leave the projects and find their voices in the spotlight.

"Jersey Boys" is just one of several early summer 2014 movies including "Think Like a Man Too," "22 Jump Street, "How to Train Your Dragon 2," "Hellion," "The Rover," The Fault in Our Stars," "Edge of Tomorrow," "A Million Ways to Die in the West," "Maleficent," "Night Moves," "Filth," "Blended," "X-Men: Days of Future Past," "The Immigrant," "The Love Punch, "The Angriest Man in Brooklyn, "Million Dollar Arm," "Godzilla," "Palo Alto," and "Chef."
