StyleSk8r At first rather annoying in its heavy emphasis on reenactments, this movie ultimately proves fascinating, simply because the complicated, highly dramatic tale it tells still almost defies belief.

Hattie I didn’t really have many expectations going into the movie (good or bad), but I actually really enjoyed it. I really liked the characters and the banter between them.

Edmund Bloxam That cameo was the only time I laughed in the whole movie. Not at the gag in the scene, but by how colossally stupid the cameo was.The gags...are not even gags. The delivery is so inept.The script...the romance is like the romance between two nine year olds. I know it's supposed to be light, but I expect a little conversation, or even interaction on any level so I can suspend my disbelief. Funny premise. That's it. The delivery is so slow, laboured, dwelling on all the wrong moments. Even the gags are framed incorrectly (which at times even confuses the scene so you can't even tie it to the premise).The director seems to have made a career from tv sitcoms. I wouldn't hire this guy to shoot a ten second ad

petarmatic I am not sure what did they want with this film? I am not sure there is really the point or was I mistaken? Plot, is there really one? I did laugh some, but it did not give laugh to die for. I am not thrilled at all about it.Acting is OK for this type of film, but I am not sure that it improved the whole experience. Kim Basinger was OK, but that was about all there it was about it. Elvis impersonators did not really thrilled me.There was some good music and bloopers were cute, otherwise nothing really to remember.If you like Elvis and his impersonators this is a film for you, otherwise I would skip this film with no second thoughts about it.

David Brown A lightweight comedy - amusing rather than laugh-out-loud - this film is carried by the attractiveness of its leads (Kim Basinger at 50 is stunning, and more than a match for John Corbett, eight years her junior).There are a number of good supporting actors - Philip Charles MacKenzie's gay receptionist is a joy - and cameos, notably Tom Hanks. Mike Starr and Phill Lewis's two cops routine is a little too hackneyed for my taste, although their two Elvis impressionists' number is worthwhile.Altogether a very silly movie, but not unenjoyable.

gpaltrow2001 OMG! The only reason I'm giving this movie a 2 instead of a 1 is because Tom Hanks is funny as an Elvis-in-the-box. Apart from that, how did this halfway decent cast sign on to do such a lame movie?? Maybe it seemed like a good idea at the time... There are no laughs to mention, the stereotypes are pathetic, the cast is wasted, the direction is amateurish. Now that I think about it, most of the blame probably lies with the director, Joel Zwick. He brings out nothing but flat performances from all involved. Don't waste your time like I did; but then, I enjoy a good train wreck. Geez, now the system is telling me I need more lines-- here ya go: This movie should be called Return to Sender. Okay, now THAT was funnier than anything in the movie...
