Beyond the Sea
Beyond the Sea (98 min, Rated R)
For BOBBY DARIN (Kevin Spacey), performing was his life. After suffering from rheumatic fever at the age of seven, Bobby is told he'll be lucky to live to be fifteen. Modern medicine and determination keep him alive, and by 20, with the help of his manager Steve Blauner (John Goodman), he's working his way up from tacky clubs to performing in Vegas, finally scoring a hit with 'Splish Splash'. "Mack the Knife" makes him the star he's dreamed of becoming, but never satisfied with success, he continues to reinvent himself. He falls for the actress Sandra Dee (Kate Bosworth) while filming a movie in Italy, and despite her mother's protests, Bobby and Sandy get married. Though they are the perfect-looking Hollywood couple, their life together is conflicted by her acting career and his touring. His dogged pursuit of fame and fortune isolates him from the very people who love him and believe in him. "A hugely entertaining, highly empathetic portrait." -- Kirk Honeycutt, HOLLYWOOD REPORTER "Beyond the Sea is a beautiful whirlwind musical homage to crooner Bobby Darin's remarkable career and astonishing life..." -- Emily Blunt, BLUNT REVIEW
