I am a huge fan of Elvis. I've been going through all of his movies in an effort to see them all. This was #30 on my list. Now, with all the Elvis movies I've seen, I've really loved some of them, and liked a lot of others. Even the silly ones. Even some of the ones others say are no good. But there are 3 of them I've absolutely hated. This is one of those 3. This one is one of the craziest, weirdest, most horrible movies I've ever seen, period, Elvis or no Elvis. And his character in the movie does very, very little to make it worth it. In fact, I think it's the worst character Elvis ever played. And the songs (what few there are) also do very...very little to make it worth it. I deeply regret the $3 I spent to rent it so I could add it to the list of seen Elvis movies. Some may enjoy its own peculiar breed of charm. I did not. At all.
Now, all that being said, there was one scene that really tickled me, and which made me laugh really, really hard. (In-laws, tea.) For that scene, and because, well, because it's Elvis, I give this 3 stars. But I think I'd rather be water-boarded than watch it again.
