Critic Reviews

Dennis Schwartz, Ozus' World Movie Reviews
The good news is that it's no worse than Elvis' usual underachieving musicals and the songs he sings though not great are at least bearable.
-
Steve Crum, Kansas City Kansan
It's an Elvis movie: formula songs and acting.
-
Kevin N. Laforest, Apollo Guide
A pleasant diversion full of sun, music and beautiful girls.
-
Ken Hanke, Mountain Xpress (Asheville, NC)
Average Elvis stuff.
