      John Anderson Variety Droll and delusional, the title character of The Last Elvis will win over plenty of fans to Armando Bo's parable of obsession and denial. Feb 2, 2012 Full Review Debbie Lynn Elias Behind The Lens [John McInerny] transports us in time, creating a magical on-stage presence that will have one believe the voice, the moves, the persona, is Elvis Presley.

      Shock Therapy R The martyr theme was overwrought. If genuine life belongs to someone else, someone before that must be emulated down to the details, what can be said of its imposter? Talented? Of course. But what if his daughter chose to be Marilyn and copied her into her own early demise? Would the father still undaunted support? Given the set up of the movie, it was hard to understand whether Elvis was distraction away from real life sensibilities or was an obsession that naturally crowded out such sensibilities. Either way, the overwhelming feeling is pity and not congratulations. Maybe dusting off the blue suede shoes and applying some dark hair dye could have prolonged the memory… let alone the life. Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 03/16/23 Full Review Audience Member Relentlessly depressing but McInerny offers a great performance. Rated 3 out of 5 stars 02/27/23 Full Review Audience Member An intriguing and absorbing look into the life of a struggling Argentine Elvis Presley tribute artist. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 01/23/23 Full Review christoph l Muy bien!! Conmovedora. Lastima que no llegó a México. Que gran Elvis es John Mc Inerny!!! Rated 4 out of 5 stars 03/30/23 Full Review Audience Member Carlos, call me Elvis, Gutierrez works at a factory doing mindless assembly work. His job sucks, but not as much as the trampy whores he picks up on street corners for what passes for companionship in his life. When he is not busy working or ignoring his ex-wife and his daughter, Lisa Marie, he is working on his music. For Carlos, his main calling in life is that of an Elvis Impersonator. However, Carlos does not just think that he is impersonating The King, he thinks he is The King reborn or reincarnated or that he has a gift from god to emulate Elvis. To be honest it was sort of hard to tell what to think as the film is subtitled and it is difficult to discern Carlos's mental state. Is Carlos obsessed, delusional, bat shit crazy or is he just a bit of a strange character and an Elvis fan? Elvis, is forced to become the father that he has not been for his daughter, Lisa Maria, after his ex-wife is involved in a car accident. For the first time he develops a positive relationship with his young daughter. She becomes accepting of her fathers Elvis obsession and even starts to eat peanut butter and banana sandwiches. All the while when he is helping his daughter he is also hard at work perfecting his performance. It is worth mentioning that actor John McInerny does a very respectable Elvis impersonation (think late stage 1970?s Elvis). This is McInerny's first role in a film, in real life he moonlights as an Elvis Impersonator and it shows. The songs he performs in the film are actually of good quality.
