The soundtrack is tedious, the portrait of L.A.'s music industry preposterous, and Diamond (despite his talents as a singer-songwriter in the real world) can't help but look like a speck on the wall in the presence of Laurence Olivier, who plays his father. --Tom Keogh Customer Reviews Average Rating: Rating: - DVD Movie - Jazz Singer A great movie that I had seen before - I wanted to have my own copy mostly because of the great sound from Neil Diamond Rating: - The Jazz Singer Fantastic!! Just like the original that I saw at the movies! Will buy again from seller! Rating: - Great entertainment Very interesting movie. The performances are just like the ones I saw at a recent Neil Diamond concert. He is always good. Lucy Arnez was outstanding! A movie to watch multiple times. Rating: - Neil Diamond, of course If you read my other review of Neil Diamond's Love at the Greek, you know I'm a 40 year fan! It was so great to get this DVD to replace my old VHS version which I lost during a move. I read the other reviews on this and yes, it's a little old and grainy, but doesn't that make it even better? Ever been in one of those old buildings in New York...that's what they look like. If you had the original, you know it's not a spiffy new HD version, but the story is just as good and enjoyable as it was ... Read More Rating: - Great movie! Great story and great movie, I had great fun seeing it for the first time on dvd at all!! see more
