Ouch! Reviewer gets nasty with Spacey

Kevin Spacey will not take any delight from this scathing review of his “Beyond the Sea” as described by the San Francisco Chronicle.

The review excerpted:

“Beyond the Sea” is jaw-droppingly awful, a misbegotten and ill-conceived vanity project, in which Spacey — as writer, director and star — takes an amazing showbiz story and kills it dead. The casting of Spacey, the movie’s reason for being, is also its central flaw. He’s wrong for the role in every possible way. In a black toupee, he looks nothing like [singer Bobby]Darin and more like a middle-aged woman. It’s a project that didn’t call for a green light but rather an intervention.

I have not seen this movie, and was mildly interested in seeing it after recently reading about the precocious Mr. Darin. Bobby was apparently a miserable fellow with an amazing talent. I think I’ll skip this biopic now.
