"Walk the Line" is a very entertaining, and highly viewable, film, however, by comparison.
Johnny Cash's family had some differences as to how their Johnny Cash was depicted, but, other than that, as a film, as entertainment, Joaquin Phoenix (as Cash) and Reese Witheerspoon (as June Carter, Cash's second wife) provide really great performances.
It's a highly viewable and enjoyable film and I'd encourage anyone who wants to go the movies to go see "Walk the Line" -- and spare yourself and everyone you care about the rotten experience of hunting down "BM" and wading through the ugly thing.
Phoenix and Witherspoon worked hard and achieved great performances.
Walk the Line was a great film. Don't forget to mention that Joaquin Phoenix and Reese Witherspoon sing their parts! If it were up to me, they'd get the Best Actor & Best Actress Oscars. Witherspoon seems to be a lock for Actress but Actor is almost definitely gonna be Philip Seymour Hoffman for Capote, or Heath Ledger if it's not Hoffman.
