Maybe it's because of the big build up, but I was a bit disappointed. They introduced story lines that had no basis in the story. When Valli's daughter ran away and he had his talk with her he told her to stop smoking if she wanted to be a great singer. Then he offered to get her demos with Crewe because that's what she really wanted. It seems to me that the fact that his daughter had ambitions to sing should have been introduced earlier in the movie. There were a few other instances where things just seemed to come up out of the blue.
The other thing was that whoever was doing Valli's voice was terrible. It didn't sound anything like Valli in the beginning. It did get much better as the movie progressed but initially he has an annoying scratchy sound that was hard to sit through.
It was an OK movie, but I expected better. Most of these biopics about famous people are pretty bad. This one was merely OK.
