SummaryYou Shake My Nerves and Rattle my Brain...
Content
I love this movie! Jerry Lee Lewis was kind of a sicky marrying his 13 year old cousin. Jerry Lee Lewis is still alive and Elvis is not. If Myra answers the question,She's J.W. Brown's Daughter,which is true,too. not Jerry Lee Lewis's wife. It would've changed history. I would love to have this on DVD,full screen of course. Dennis quaid is a great Jerry Lee Lewis. His cousins are Mickey Gillie[A country star,that songs I don't know and never heard of.] and a religous freak,not Jerry Falwell. But another guy. having a small audience in front of him saying music is evil when it isn't. Why don't they join a cult?

SummaryJerry Lee's Story With His Own Music
Content
Dennis Quaid plays Jerry Lee Lewis in this movie. Jerry Lee does his own music. The movie is a three star and the music is a five star. This movie is the true story of the life of Jerry Lee Lewis and a wonderful showcase for the artist's own music performed by himself.

SummaryGreat balls of fire!
Content
Well if one likes Jerry Lee's music this one is OK. After all it is not Dennis who actually plays and sings. It is the killer himself who takes care of that. Dennis is well over the top in this flick but nevertheless it still is an item I love to see over and over - and it looks great on my 95 inch screen also.
Probably it is the music that makes it worthwhile but the impact of the big screen in my home cinema helps a great deal too. And young Wynona Ryder does look sweet and innocent and as some people would say - she is easy on the eye. Well I always liked her too, so....

SummaryNot bad, but then not good
Content
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.

Dennis Quaid is marvelous as 'The Killer' and Winona Ryder was amazing as 'Myra' what make's this movie even better is that it is a true story. I think every one should have this in their collection.
