Movie Review: The Rise, The Fall & the Comeback of a Rock 'n' Roll Legend
Summary: 3 Stars
In 1956 when Elvis became the greatest music sensation ever, another rock 'n' roll star gained popularity for his fast piano playing & his wild stage antics his name is Jerry Lee Lewis. Dennis Quaid stars as the wild scandal causing rock 'n' roller with singing & piano playing by the Killer himself. Jerry Lee Lewis grew up in Louisana, recorded at Sun Studio in Memphis, Tennessee along with Elvis Presley, Johnny Cash & Carl Perkins, became a big rock 'n' roll sensation & married his 13 year old cousin causing a scandal that almost ruined his career. The film also stars Wiona Ryder & Alec Baldwin & featuring portrayed roles of Elvis Presley, Chuck Berry & Ike Turner. It's a solid music biography.Movie Review: Doesn't do justice to the subject
Summary: 3 Stars
Jerry Lee Lewis's rise to fame and marraige to his 13-year-old cousin are given a superficial treatment. Dennis Quaid, Winona Ryder, and other cast members do a good job, but the screenplay glosses over certain details of his life without going into much depth.Movie Review: i don't mean this item

Movie Review: Overacting and too much straying from the actual story
Summary: 2 Stars
I feel that this was below par performance for both Winona Ryder and Dennis Quaid. It just didn't gel too much as I felt as though there was too much embelishing on certain points of the movie to where the second half of the movie seemed to rush through too fast, and with too many photographs. The Jerry Lee Lewis story is a interesting one indeed since I found out he is related to Jimmy Swaggart. I often wondered how Jerry Lee reacted when Jimmy fell in 1988? I often look around at bumper stickers at cars that say If God Doesn't Exist Then Act As Though He Doesn't, and I often wonder for those who feel Christians are judgemental if a Christian falls down what is thier reaction. I admit when both Bakker and Swaggart fell I was harsh with them, and I guess I felt it was my right because it gave me creedence to the way I lived my lifestyle. Do all others feel the same way? I felt that there was also too much explaining of the inspiration of doing the song "Whole Lot Of Shakin Goin On". That is my favorite Lewis song, and then they take it to a honky tonk in Tennessee, and the women were drunk, and these were the more mature looking women, and that was a turn off for me as I just can't handle drunk people. I just found alot of things that just didn't gel with this, and June 12th, 1994 was the last time I watched this movie, and I never will again so help me God.Movie Review: Hollywood doesn't do Rock and Rollers justice
Summary: 2 Stars
Oh, MAN........you thought that insult to Johnny Cash, "I Walk The Line" was bad? I mean, Reese Witherspoon playing June? Ugh, that's ALMOST "The Last Waltz" or "Gimme Shelter" compared to this tripe (the operative word there is "almost"). Dennis Quaid does a LOT...an AWFUL lot...of "mugging," but it's worse than Jehosaphat Phoneix affecting Johnny Cash's snarl. And Winona Ryder just...DOESN'T project the..."jailbait quality" of Myra Lewis. She's just too old. Do yourself a favor: grab any compilation of The Killer's performances during the 60's/70's...on upward, and alight on the "Last Man Standing" DVD where he has a decent backup band for the first time, almost, in his career.
