Great Balls of Fire

Created: 09/08/08
Great Balls of Fire-was an excellent movie about Jerry Lee Lewis. I saw it on regular tv and said this is a must have. Where Jerry Lee had a music career and when he was just getting popular he goes and marries his cousin who was 13.
Then goes to Great Britain and they don't understand that Jerry Lee is married to his cousin and then they are forced out of the country to go back to the US
and the reception there isn't that good either as his popularity went down hill just as he returned with the country.

It's a must see movie! The music was all original!

This movie reveals a changing time in American Music where influences merged to form the new sounds of rock and roll. It shows the explosive life of Mr. Lewis and his conflicts, yet it remains true to the musical genius of Mr. Lewis. My teenage son wanted to learn about Mr. Lewis, so I bought the DVD. We enjoyed sharing it with each other - even to the point my teenage son learned the title song and is performing it at parties, events, for entertainment and fun. I recommend this dvd for everyone.

Excellent movie about one of the greatest in Rock and Roll's early years. Dennis Quaid does a great job of portraying Jerry Lee Lewis.
