This film's a real sleeper, very few people probably know it. It's one of those made-for-tv films but don't let that fool you, it has quality acting, great laughs and a great script based on an amusing anecdote on Elvis in his later years.
Die-hard Elvis fanatics might not be amused by the way he is depicted as a naïve, childlike, toy-gun-slinging cowboy. But I was very amused and loved the performances of the actors portraying him and his closest friend. Not only the casting, acting and script are great, the camerawork is also well done, the movie has a nostalgic feel to it. It was very funny and charming to see a frustrated Elvis in the sixties/early seventees that made those darn Beatles (not even American!) even more popular than him, a hasbeen in those days.
I always vote a 9 or 10 for movies that are very underrated in the IMDB and vote a 1 for horribly overrated movies.
So I voted this one 10/10!
