Harockerce What a beautiful movie!

Calum Hutton It's a good bad... and worth a popcorn matinée. While it's easy to lament what could have been...
sergio choren Being an Elvis fan, I can't understand how this proyect could be done. Is by far the worst Elvis related movie of all time, totally unfunny, silly and plenty of mistakes about The King. Come on, Elvis' grave in a public park? A mention about Suspicious Minds in 1958?...and these are just two examples. Some people in the cast tries to do their best, Mike Starr is funny (specially as an impersonator), the Tom Hanks cameo is a surprise, but the guy playing the young Elvis sucks.Overall the movie lacks fun and becomes more boring minute after minute. If you want to see an ultra cheap, insane but absolutely funny little film related to Elvis, I truly recommend you "Bubba Ho-Tep" instead of this mess.
siderite This is a comedy of coincidence, where Kim Basinger is a traveling saleswoman for the Pink Lady cosmetics company, driving a pink Cadillac and wearing pink all over. Add to this horror the bad taste of Elvis impersonators appearing everywhere and the fact that whenever Kim is around some Elvis impersonator dies accidentally, and you have a wacky comedy.Of course, there is a bit of romantic comedy hidden in this movie, a bit of the "neorealist" trend with the two investigating cops being the complete opposite of each other and also a couple, talking even more nonsense than Travolta and Jackson in Pulp Fiction. But the main theme of the movie seems to me the breakthrough of life from the sea of mediocre bad taste.In the end Kim wears black, finds her true love and Elvis takes revenge on the silly people emulating him. Can't say it's a good movie, but it has that bit of originality that makes it stand out. And it's fun, too, if you don't feel the need for something profound.
pruepp Call me sick, but seeing bad Elvis impersonators get offed by the score is my idea of fun. How many times have they offended our eyes, ears and occasionally even our noses - It was high time that someone would pay them back! My wife and I laughed out loud in several instances and she kept rewinding the mailbox scene so many times that I thought she was trying to kill me as well, rolling on the floor and choking on my laughter as I was.The whole movie was very entertaining and plain fun, the actors seemed to understand that this movie is not to be taken as a dead serious comedy either and overplayed their roles suitably. I loved the gay receptionist - Yes, clichéd, overplayed and absolutely unrealistic, but he was portraying the quintessential caricature of a gay receptionist with a lot of warmth and good natured humor. The other characters reactions to him were a sight to behold.The only thing that could have improved this movie would have been another few dead Elvis impersonators offed one by one, not all at once. Oh well, one can always hope for a sequel?
Michael O'Keefe For starters, if you are an Elvis fan, prepare to laugh your butt off...or just plain be *+ss!d. This comedy is funny and a little sick. Harmony Jones(Kim Basinger)is a traveling cosmetic sales woman...a Pink Lady...primarily pushing lipstick. While on the road, she witnesses an Elvis impersonator(Richard Kind)burst into flames. Trying to avoid being arrested for murder; she hits the road. Along the way, a couple more impersonators(David Leisure and Tom Hanks) bite the dust with Harmony inadvertently involved. Now two hapless FBI agents(Mike Starr and Phill Lewis)are hot on her trail. A bewildered Miss Jones accidentally meets the man of her dreams...a depressed advertising executive(John Corbett), who happens to be taking his estranged wife's(Denise Richards)Elvis suit to an impersonators convention in Vegas. Harmony thinks the suit is his and hopes to avoid harm coming to him. Also in the cast: Sean Astin, Annie Potts and Angie Dickinson. Wayne Newton and Pat Morita appear in cameos. Fluff and fun. Basinger proves to still be an eyeful. Corbett is great in the role sharing the romantic lead.
