"The Jazz Singer is everything I hoped it would be, and more. Time after time, when you watch terrible movies in attempts to get a laugh, you find out the joke is actually on you and your precious time was wasted for nothing. Examples: Crossroads, Dungeons and Dragons. But the completely unnecessary remake of The Jazz Singer is in the great tradition of classics like Airport 1975. It is completely ridiculous, almost always funny, and only boring when Neil Diamond sings. The film was conceived as a way for Diamond to make his movie debut, but a successful career as an actor was not in the cards, mainly because he sucks. The singer was thirty nine when he made the film, and he playing a guy who is apparently in his early twenties, or perhaps even younger. He is also simply a bad actor, so much so that it reminded of my of experiences in high school theatre. [More]
