Typical innocuous Elvis vehicle that might be brainless but at least is pleasant. Go to Full Review David Kaplan Kaplan vs. Kaplan 03/01/2008

Harley S 09/06/2023 ************ CHEESY ************ See more steve d 01/30/2023 No better or worse than most of its kind. See more 01/22/2021 Above par Elvis movie with great music! See more 01/20/2020 This is a fantastic movie full of great songs and it really funny adventure. It's well-edited moves along really quick this is one of my favorite Elvis movies. See more 05/19/2015 This is so goddamn dopey, but - i will admit- enjoyable. It has bright colors and an outdated 60s-tastic plot line, so it's pretty watchable. The music is HORRENDOUS though, like ouch. I can see why Elvis denounced recording again for the next 8 months after making this stinker.
