dragged on

Rating: 6/10 (15 July 2006)

Walk the Line was a good movie, no doubt about it. Joaquin Phoenix practically became Johnny Cash, and Reese Witherspoon was perfect for the role of June Carter. It was interesting to learn about how Johnny Cash got started, how his brother died, how he was married when he met June, as was she, and how he was in the Air Force before he became a star, which was what technically got him started, anyway. Tyler Hilton played a good Elvis and Waylon Payne played a good Jerry Lee Curtis.
Now this is why I didn't like it: it dragged on forever! Johnny Cash was kind of messed up and took drugs a lot, but that was what the entire movie circulated around. The entire move, Johnny is walking around high or drunk. It's depressing!
See it, but kids probably won't enjoy it.
