6.2 / 10

The story of Jerry Lee Lewis, arguably the greatest and certainly one of the wildest musicians of the 1950s. His arrogance, remarkable talent, and unconventional lifestyle often brought him into conflict with others in the industry, and even earned him the scorn and condemnation of the public.

It's pretty clear that Quaid was absolutely fucked on coke when he made this. But still a great performance. Him and Baldwin just tore it up - @Sunday, June 28, 2015 1:02 AM

@MrPilleMcCoy Neil Patrick Harris didnt even start Doogie Howser when this movie was made...so the movie would lack credibility when Lewis would have been played by a 14 year old "Doogie Howser" :) - @Sunday, June 19, 2011 9:21 PM

this dude was a huge perv and pedofile. But white people hate on Michael Jackson when he was actually innocent. Elvis was a well known pedo as well he started fuckin precilla when she was just 14, funny how the white media never mentions, but thy did every thing they could to lie on MJ. I swear the white man is the devil - @Wednesday, April 27, 2011 5:21 AM
