Sorry, this movie sucks

It is both painfully honest and laugh-out-loud funny at the same time.

Great movie. Not sure what people expected but I found it highly entertaining.

What a great idea. I was really interested to learn about that time in music and the birth of Rock n roll. Sadly this is not it. The stories of all the characters are shallow because there are to many story lines going on at the same time. The story of the studio and the artist gets buried in Sam's drunkenness/pill popping/infidelities. Not what I signed up for. Instead of getting a glimpse of that amazing time in history of music,, we get the story of a man that is not really that interesting. PS: the main character is a copy of Mc-Fly from back to the future.

The recent episode where Sam Phillips walks into Chess Record's office was way out of sync! Supposedly this happened in 1951 when Rocket 88 was recorded. The TV show has Sam Phillips walking into the office of Chess while the Moonglows' recording of Sincerely is playing in the background. This song was written by Harvey Fuqua and Alan Freed in 1954 and the Moonglows' Sincerely was recorded in 1955. How could the writers of this show be so stupid as to make such a blunder?Reply

Sun Records is a Rock & Roll lovers dream come true! The actors are amazing and really do justice to the Rock Gods they are portraying. It's a shame today's generation lacks the respect and understanding for what these musical pioneers really did for the genre. Just seeing Elvis deal with the insecurities of high school, the shenanigans of Jerry Lee and his preaching cousin Jimmy Swaggart, Johnny's time in service, or Sam's journey from failure to success, really make this an entertaining piece of Americana. I stumbled across the show by accident and figured it would be mediocre at best, since CMT isn't really known for their groundbreaking series. But, I was definitely proved wrong after seeing the actors spot on performances and CMT's portrayal of Tennessee circa 1952. I know with the PC millennial of today it might be difficult for the show to find its footing, but if you love music (whether it's Hip Hop or Nirvana) these are the men who started it all. So do yourself a favor and take some time away from Facebook and Reaction videos, and go give Sun Records a spin!

Super impressed with the first episode. Not one dull moment, great pace, excellent writing and the acting is superb. The guy who plays Dewey Phillips is amazing as well as the guy playing the Colonel. Chad Michael Murray believe it or not is excellent- yeah that surprised me too. The guy who plays Elvis has an excellent voice. If there was any justice, if the rest of this series maintains thus level, they would sweep the Emmys next year but there isn't any cause none of them are playing full on retards.
