Not great acting but great impersonations!

Rating: 7/10 (1 March 2006)

I liked the movie but like so many it is more impersonating than acting. I thought the same thing of "Ray" last year, except walk the line does a better job than "Ray". The story line is good and gives you enough background in the life of Johnny Cash and the type of person he was. I was pleased to see that it didn't glorify him and showed the faults in his personality and moral character. It did not give a whole lot of info of the life of June Carter. The story doesn't really tell you anything that you didn't already know about Johnny Cash unless maybe you just weren't ever interested in his life before hand. Big Johnny Cash fans might not find it all that compelling but probably will see it, people who don't like Johnny Cash have no reason to see it. Overall I liked the movie and would recommend renting it but I wouldn't buy the DVD until it goes in the $5.00 bin!
