Great Balls of Fire
The movie depicts the life and career of wildly controversial rock 'n' roll star Jerry Lee Lewis, a saintly sinner, a world-wise naïf, a skilled performer with zero sense of discipline, a loving husband who uses his wife for a punching bag.

Dennis Quaid is amazing, this could be the film of his career
July 25, 2002
Surely contains some quality components, but the movie as a whole may leave an unpleasant taste in your mouth.

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

Average biopic.

Quaid nails it. Just nails it.

Dennis Quaid actually manages to make Jerry Lee Lewis likeable.

Underrated Dennis Quad performance as rocker Jerry Lee Lewis.

An outrageous bio-pic with Quaid over the top as Jerry Lee Lewis
November 15, 2005
Quaid is surprisingly good and has plenty of fun in this musical biopic.

Vastly entertaining biopic.

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