Very very predictable, including the post credit scene !!!

The Worst Film Ever

Excellent, a Must See

The movie turns out to be a little better than the average. Starting from a romantic formula often seen in the cinema, it ends in the most predictable (and somewhat bland) way.

Shame on anybody who is trying to defend this absolute waste of studio money. Dennis Quaid - what happened, man? This movie sucks...real, real hard. The writing, the acting, the crappy lip-synching. I mean, is the story of Jerry Lee Lewis really worth telling? Ultra-fanatical bible belt redneck pianist marries his child cousin. Great - can I see a movie about someone interesting now? So sad that this is one of Trey Wilson's last acting jobs. That John Doe guy as Myra's dad was alright, though.

The events that stopped the first wave of Rock n' Roll......Elvis went into the army...Buddy Holly died...Chuck Berry got arrested...Little Richard quit and became a man of the cloth...and Jerry Lee Lewis married his 13 year old cousin. This film is a fun-filled, rocking, over-the-top, snazzy, story of the "Killer". It never lets up on the music (all original performances by Jerry Lee) and the cast is doing nothing more than having a good time with it all. A few 50's style insertions of some "song and dance" numbers work magnificently.During the downfall, which is presented honestly and somberly we understand the devastation and effect on all involved. But just like Lewis himself, it rebounds with guts and gusto and never misses a color saturated beat.No one ever put out those great balls of fire, he played it hard and he played it forever."I can play anything, anytime, anywhere" says Jerry......ain't it the truth.

The Title is "Middle Age Crazy". Dennis Quaid and Winona Ryder are on board along with the rest of the original cast. Unfortunately we have lost the great Trey Wilson and Lisa Blount, but Alec Baldwin will play Jimmy Swaggart again, which should be great because this will be during the years leading up to his scandal. Rumor has it that John Travolta will play Mickey Gilley (a little wink to Urban Cowboy) and Sean Penn as Lewis' guitar player Kenny Lovelace.The movie starts with Jerry Lee Lewis' Live at the Star Club in Hamburg concert in 1964 and I believe ends in 1986 when he gets inducted into the Rock n' Roll Hall of fame. This is going to be a treat for real fans of Lewis who enjoy his country music. We are going to get his 1968 top ten single "Another Place, Another Time" along with "What's Made Milwaukee Famous, "She Still Comes Around (To Love What's Left of Me)", "Me & Bobby McGee" and of course 1977's "Middle Age Crazy". The scenes of Quaid as Lewis in North Hollywood's Palomino Club, Country Music's most important West Coast club during the 70's and 80's is going to be epic. This should be in production by 2012.

The reviews and comments looking for a level headed and even keeled depiction of the Jerry Lee phenomenon (talk about oxymorons)would probably have been happier with a ploddingly sincere and safe little movie like "La Bamba" or "The Buddy Holly Story".Number one, Jerry Lee Lewis was not a "died too young" legend who can function as a convenient hook upon which to hang a sanitized and idealized (and "survivor approved") portrait of their too brief rise and tragic fall.Jerry Lee was an incredibly talented, vibrant, egotistical, foolhardy, sexy, and trouble prone MAN. He seemed poised and perfectly placed to fill the void left by "The King" when he was drafted...but life, love, and the prudishness of the era all intervened.Please do NOT blame this wonderful, and wonderfully well made film for the discomfort it's romance might STILL cause (It DOES NOT glorify taking a child bride...please watch Winona Ryder's astonishing, heartbreaking, brilliantly funny, utterly tragic perf...her best EVER)....Please don't slam it for capturing the broad, funny, sexy, and infuriating "Killer" so well that Jerry Lee flinched from the resemblance.This is an unrecognized classic...It deserves rediscovery...and should have made Ryder and the magnificent Quaid superstars!
