 DVD Review: Great Balls Of Fire
Although I sense that the singer's life had potential to be made into a more interesting and dramatic film than this one, "Great Balls Of Fire" is made at least moderately entertaining by the two excellent lead performances.
SOUND: Certainly, "Great Balls Of Fire" is an instance where a 5.1 remix should have been considered.
Final Thoughts: "Great Balls Of Fire" doesn't bring much insight into the life of the singer, but the film does coast along well on its energy and two lead performances from Quaid and Ryder.
