You don't have to be an old rocker to enjoy this movie which tells the story of the legendary rock pianist Jerry Lee Lewis. Dennis Quaid captures the excitement, oddities and mannerisms of this rock legend (almost an impersonation)
Quaid's performance is truly fantastic...........
The music is exciting - shaking your nerves and rattling your soul! I rate this movie 8.5 out of 10.
