One of the best films i have seen
It’s fine. It's literally the definition of a fine movie. You’ve seen it before, you know every beat and outcome before the characters even do. Only question is how much escapism you’re looking for.
View MoreAmazing worth wacthing. So good. Biased but well made with many good points.
View MoreStrong acting helps the film overcome an uncertain premise and create characters that hold our attention absolutely.
View MoreElvis and Anabelle is a marvelous modern-day fable that took the rules, crossed them out, wrote them over, crumpled them up, burned them and dumped the ashes at sea.It focuses on a couple of small town, fresh-out-of-high-school kids stuck in rolls the never wanted (beauty queen and morticians apprentice,) who are both playing along out of a sense of commitment, that is, until she dies, and they meet.While it has the elements of a Cinderella story, a beautiful princess, and a reluctantly charming prince, there are points in the film where it jerks you into modern-day reality, and uses that reality to confront and question the fantasy. It asks the viewer to question the price the characters pay for the fairy tale rolls they play, in a wonderful way.Joe Mantegna is an absolute revelation, in the roll of Elvis's handicapped father. He plays it so perfectly, and sweetly, that I found myself loving him before I realized who it was. He slips into the roll so well that he seems to physically change, without ever overplaying the disadvantages.While this is a sweet and engaging film for all ages, if you have high-school age kids in particular, bring this one home for movie night. It's hip enough to engage them long enough to hook them.If you liked:The Princess Bride The Perks Of Being A Wallflower StandBy Me The Age of Adaline you'll probably like Elvis and Anabelle.
View MoreThis is one of those movies that really get your tear ducts going and still you can't avoid having a laugh to this movie. When you start watching this movie you don't have high hopes, you just watch it because you try to spend some time, Blake Lively is in it and she looks amazing as always. But it turns out to feel extremely genuine and real. It doesn't get slow in the middle that a lot of love story and drama movies intend to get. You just have to love it, and the ending was a real thriller. A perfect movie, a real feel good. Simply said: Funny, sweet, acting was not awesome but good. A must for every romance drama lover.
View MoreNot normally a fan of Blake Lively but even I have to agree that she did well in this movie. Minghella was captivating and this movie would be lost without him. Charlie can only be described as Anabelle put it, "Precious" and was just one more reason to completely love this movie. This is by far one of my favorite movies of all time. From start to finish it is fantastic. Lively and Minghella have great chemistry together. There is not one single thing that I dislike about it. I love the mortician setting and the fact that this movie is unlike any other that you will ever see. I definitely recommend it to anyone. I wish I could give it more stars because I definitely would. It deserves the 10 and more.
View MoreBeing such a low-budget film I wasn't expecting much from Elvis and Anabelle but I'm glad I was proved wrong. Both Blake Lively and Max Minghella's performances were excellent. They portrayed characters who both hid dark secrets but also kept the believability of each character at an all time high. Joe Montegna stole the show for me playing the physically and mentally challenged father of Elvis( Max Minghella). His witty one-liners and the love he showed for Elvis and Anabell will touch your heart in such away that you will think about this movie for a long time after the credits role. With such a quirky storyline and characters you will surely fall in love with,Elvis and Anabell is a terrific must-see film!
