      Josh G First he's a love interest, than a sheriff, than a lawyer it's got good comedic timing and it's fun, super fun. I think this may be on the higher end of the Elvis canon.

Rated 5 out of 5 stars 01/28/23 Full Review Audience Member Doesn't get much better. Elvis in his prime. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 02/16/23 Full Review ashley h Follow that Dream is a decent film. It is about the the Kwimper family car runs out of gas on a new Florida highway and an state supervisor tries to run them off. Elvis Presley and Arthur O'Connell give good performances. The screenplay is a little slow in places. Gordon Douglas did an alright job directing this movie. I liked this motion picture because of the humor and romance.

      Janet Graves Photoplay Most of the way, it's a cheerful homespun comedy with easygoing songs and funny lines; so it can be forgiven for slowing to a near-standstill at the finish. Dec 15, 2020 Full Review Ken Hanke Mountain Xpress (Asheville, NC) Better than average Elvis vehicle. Rated: 3/5 Feb 3, 2005 Full Review John A. Nesbit ToxicUniverse.com more entertaining than any Ben Affleck-J-Lo material that Hollywood has produced during the last few years Rated: 3/5 Aug 22, 2004 Full Review Read all reviews
