Seraphina Alaimo New York Daily News Loving You has a plot. But it sadly rehashes the old overnight-success routine; in this case a displaced fairy tale running pat and obvious. Rated: 2/4 Sep 25, 2021 Full Review Sean Axmaker MSN.com The show-biz musical about a country boy with a unique sound... is a streamlined and sanitized retake on the story of Elvis... Aug 14, 2007 Full Review Steve Crum Dispatch-Tribune Newspapers Pretty good early Elvis with nice title song. Rated: 3/5 Sep 10, 2006 Full Review Read all reviews

Chris D This just may be Elvis’s best movie Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 10/30/24 Full Review Jared Z Elvis' second film, his first as the film's lead, his first color film and overall one of his best. The somewhat melodramatic but nonetheless touching story of a young laborer who becomes a rock and roll sensation (sound familiar?). Perhaps the most autobiographical picture Elvis ever made, and perhaps the closest any of his films ever came to catching "Elvismania" at its peak. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 05/04/24 Full Review Michele B first elvis movie in color and his first debut in a leading role. out of all his movies i've watched thus far this one feels almost biographical as it's about finding a new young star that becomes an overnight sensation that women go crazy over. is it a cinematic masterpiece? definitely not as most of his movies weren't. it is really good though if you love elvis basically just playing elvis Rated 4 out of 5 stars 10/02/23 Full Review StephenPaul C The greatest 01 hour: and 41 minutes ever!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Rated 5 out of 5 stars 05/21/23 Full Review steve d One of The King's weakest outings. Rated 2 out of 5 stars 03/30/23 Full Review Audience Member This was only second Elvis film to be released, coming after "Love me Tender", and the first to be in color (even though the next two films :Jailhouse Rock and King Creole, were back in black and white). Let's start with the music as this will be the longest section. there are songs like party and hot dog which aren't really my things but their decent tracks but that's manly because of Elvis's voice. You can hear the song Mean Woman Blues in the background of one scene. It's a good song but it's only there for a few seconds. Got a Lot O'Livin to do is a track I quite like a lot, but it's definitely not my favorite. Loving You feels like this films Love me Tender, a slow paced love song that is quite good, but I would just rather listen to Love me Tender. Teddy Bear is probably the best song in the movie, and it's just fine. Elvis is great on it, and so is the piano, and the background vocals are pretty good but not the best. overall the songs just aren't as good as any of the other Elvis films from the 50s. The film is competently shot and the acting is decent enough, I really don't have anything else about this movie. It isn't all to remarkable or interesting, but it is a decent time if you are a Elvis fan. Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 02/07/23 Full Review Read all reviews
