    Elvis was an average actor at best.

    Elvis Presley's BEST film!! So funny and so truly great.

    Kurt Russel and the little girl made this movie! More humor than the other Elvis movies I've seen and I liked the sarcasm thrown in. It was funny and the songs were entertaining (they didn't just burst into song for no reason, with no one noticing).
