Rated 2 out of 5 stars 03/30/23 Full Review ashley h Kissin' Cousins is an okay film. It is about an Army officer who returns to the Smoky Mountains tries to convince his kinfolk to allow the Army to build a missile site on their land. Elvis Presley and Arthur O'Connell give decent performances. The screenplay is a little slow in places. Gene Nelson did an alright job directing this movie. I liked this motion picture because of the music and romance. Rated 3 out of 5 stars 03/31/23 Full Review Audience Member This a great fun flick. Elvis Presley & Cynthia Pepper play off of each other beautifully. Blond Elvis, Ha... Who knew? Rated 5 out of 5 stars 01/27/23 Full Review Audience Member A very fluffy, fun movie. Cynthia Pepper is fantastic in this with Elvis. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 02/19/23 Full Review panayiota k omg blond Elvis! omg awesome effects! omg hillbillies are so funny!
