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.

| May 9, 2023

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

| Original Score: 2.5/4 | Oct 18, 2022

This film is bad. Boringly bad.

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

| Original Score: C | Aug 26, 2009

Underrated Dennis Quad performance as rocker Jerry Lee Lewis.

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

Full Review | Original Score: 3/5 | Jun 26, 2003

An outrageous bio-pic with Quaid over the top as Jerry Lee Lewis
