Critics' reviews
- "[It] 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."
- "What's missing most conspicuously from Great Balls of Fire is an interest in the historical and cultural context that made Lewis' career possible (...) McBride treats the '50s as a joke"
