Negative Positive
Title: Solid Movie.
Review: I grew up listening to Johnny Cash - not because I was a fan, but because my Dad listened to it all the time, so it was always playing in the house. Joaquin Phoenix and Reese Witherspoon did a wonderful job portraying Johnny Cash and June Carter. I think Joaquin Phoenix is just a terrific actor, and Reese Witherspoon really impressed me with this role (I never liked any of her other movie performances). This movie was enjoyable and I'm really glad I went to see it. Having said that, I didn't walk away feeling like it was this AWESOME movie. It sort of had a "formula" feel to it, I guess. I did enjoy this more than Ray, but I suspect it's because I'm more familiar with Johnny Cash than I am with Ray Charles, and I'm a bigger fan of Phoenix than I am of Jamie Foxx. All in all, this was a good movie. I wish there was a little more singing, but I still enjoyed it.
