REVIEWS

Review by Hali (posted on 29-Aug-2007)

This movie told a good story and is entertaining, but there's one thing about it I do not like... Hardly anything in it is true! Dennis Quaide made Jerry Lee Lewis look like an uneducated clown! And the real Jerry Lee Lewis would never talk about God the way Quaide does in the movie. Also when Jerry gets Myra from school and takes her to get married in the movie, that did not happen that way. It's not even close. They were not in a car! They were at the Brown's house! I did however, like Wynona Ryder's part as Myra Gale. That is what I have to say about Great Balls of Fire.
