Speaking in hindsight, Dennis Quaid has recently gone on record as saying he should've taken the filmmakers' advice and brought his portrayal of real-life hell-raising singer/piano player Jerry Lee Lewis down a notch or two. However, it's precisely Quaid's energy... Full review

Being a fan of Jerry Lee Lewis since he began rockin' way back in the 1950s, this movie is a bit of a disappointment overall. The "bad" outweighs the "good" in here, story-wise. GOOD - The music - naturally! There... Full review

Ryder's solid sense of character and even better sense of humor play paperweight to this flighty material. Lewis's third marriage, to his 13-year-old second cousin Myra (Winona Ryder), smothered his career, a personal calamity that comes off here as camp comedy. ... Full Review

Any which way you look at it, Great Balls of Fire stacks up as something small, shriveled and inexplicably tame, Goodness gracious indeed. Ryder, now seventeen, lets us in on the confusion and conflicting emotions of this child bride without once playing down to the audience or patronizing the character; she is smashing. ...

Jerry Lee Lewis is almost certainly, as his character says in "Great Balls of Fire," going to hell pumpin' his piano; but this glossy glossover of a film bio is the closest he'll ever come to Hollywood heaven. ... Full Article
