Customer Reviews of Great Balls of Fire!
WHOLE LOTTA SHAKIN' GOIN' ON!! DENNIS QUAID, WINONA RYDER AND ALEC BALDWIN ALL GIVE OUTSTANDING PERFORMANCES IN THIS MOVIE MUSIC BIO. ABOUT THE MUSIC CAREER AND RELATIONSHIPS OF JERRY LEE LEWIS. THE MOVIE IS A WHOLE LOT OF FUN. I MUST ADMIT THE DVD IS EXTREMELY THIN. THERE ISN'T EVEN A SINGLE PAGE BOOKLET INSIDE. THE CHAPTERS ARE NOT LISTED INSIDE WHICH IS RIDICULOUS. THIS IS MOSTLY DUE TO THE FACT THAT ORION PICTURES DOESN'T EXIST ANYMORE. MGM TOOK ALL THEIR DECENT MOVIES UNDER THEIR WING, AND ISN'T SPENDING ALOT OF TIME OR MONEY IN PRODUCING THE MOVIES ON DVD AND VHS. THEY ARE JUST MAKING ALOT. ANYWAY "GREAT BALLS OF FIRE!" IS A MOVIE THAT IS SURE TO PLEASE A CROWD, WITH SOME MEMORABLE MOMENTS. JUST DON'T EXPECT ANYTHING MORE THAN A GOOD MOVIE.
Exciting Dennis...Boring Winona
When I saw the preview for this movie, I thought "wow, Dennis Quaid is hot." I'm too young to remember Jerry Lee Lewis, but I have heard his music. Dennis Quaid does an admirable job of bringing Jerry Lee Lewis' story to us.
Winona Ryder is okay. I think she's a wishy-washy actress. Sometimes she's great, sometimes she bores me. Unfortunately, this was one of the boring performances. Granted, she was playing a whiny teenager, that may have swayed my opinion.
The story is a good one, but now I intend to read a biography about Jerry Lee Lewis, as I'm sure much was left out about this man's colorful life.
As an aside, my pre-teen daughter had many questions about the behavior of the two cousins...so I probably should have watched it when she was not around.
Bottom line, if you are huge fan of either actors or the story, buy it...otherwise, rent it.
Not bad, but then not good
This is okay. Dennis Quaid is rather over the top and Winona Ryder is her usual humdrum self. Looks good and there are some good comedic touches.
However, rather than his career being trashed by the scandal depicted here, in that he marries his 13 year old cousin, and then she gets pregnant, and slaps her about, he should have been jailed. Sorry, distasteful is not the word for it.
