To me, this movie is perfection.
I'll tell you why so serious
Exactly the movie you think it is, but not the movie you want it to be.
View MoreThe movie really just wants to entertain people.
Agree with most of the reviews , very funny film, took me by surprise. Far better than the remake Elvis and Nixon which has just been released.Also charmed to recognize the donut shop that is just down the street from me in Toronto.
View MoreI found this movie late at night on the Bravo station in Canada. As an Elvis fan a thought why not stay up late and watch this movie. I thought it was going to be a crappy movie, but it turned out to be a good movie. I am not sure how real this movie is to the actual events, but it did give a good idea of how Elvis must have been feeling about himself. This movie is worth watching and I would sit through it again. It might just end up in my DVD collection if I can find it on DVD. Do not miss this movie if you are an Elvis or Nixon fan or just interested in a wacky event that took place at a difficult time in American history.
View MoreFact is always stranger than fiction. However, this is a comedy. As such, I can't fault the producers for creating fiction around a real event.The stereotypes serve well as background briefs to modern audiences who may not know squat about either the King or the President.Elvis wanders the night, shoots television sets out at will, dresses like. ..well. . .Elvis and maintains his good old boy composure. Likewise, Nixon broods, works on his enemies list, and rattles off every Nixon trademark statement from various years.There is a lot of humor in this film. Those who don't know the history of the times will probably be left dumbfounded.
View MoreThis is the best movie no one saw. Based on a true story about Elvis going to Washington, D.C. alone, the acting is terrific.Bob Gunton does a great parody of Nixon, and Rick Peters is a good Elvis.
