Great Balls of Fire! Reviews
Quaid is perfect as Lewis, donning the strutting near-innocent pomposity of one who truly believes he is the King of Rock and Roll.

...a relentlessly (and woefully) uneven true-life tale.

This film is bad. Boringly bad.

Fire is a fascinating, often terribly compelling failure. Much like Lewis's life, I suppose.

Ryder and Quaid seem to be in two different movies, but Baldwin is brilliant.
