Critic Reviews
Great Balls of Fire is little more than just a whole lotta fakin' goin on. [30 June 1989, p.41]
More fanciful than factual, less likable than either The Big Easy or Breathless, McBride's previous two features, the movie tries hard to re-create the euphoria of 50s rock films, but the poor-white milieu is treated with such crude derision that all the characters wind up seeming like two-dimensional geeks.
