Disadvantages: Very little

..."Walk the Line" chronicles the early years of legendary Country singer Johnny Cash from his childhood days, through to his rise to fame as a singer, his romance with June Carter, his decline into drug addiction and culminating in the now legendary concert at Folsom Prison in 1968.

...don?t think it would have had the same effect if Sienna hadn?t played the beauty. Even though Lindsay is very pretty I think casting Kiera and Sienna was perfect.

It does have a RRP price of £19.99 though so it is good value for money. ~ SOUNDTRACK ~ 1. "Lovers Lie Abed" 2. "Overture/Blue Tahitian Moon" 3. "Underground Shelter" 4.
