Smartorhypo Highly Overrated But Still Good
Voxitype Good films always raise compelling questions, whether the format is fiction or documentary fact.
Janae Milner Easily the biggest piece of Right wing non sense propaganda I ever saw.
Philippa All of these films share one commonality, that being a kind of emotional center that humanizes a cast of monsters.
lucilabeltran A movie that would touch your hard and Elvis fans enjoy!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
lynneh-1 This is one of my favorite "sweet" movies of all time. Enough conflict and tension to make you wonder what's going to happen and that fun "what if . . ." factor that ties the whole thing together, especially with Elvis being such an important pop culture icon. Keith has done Elvis before I believe, and turns in a great job again, realistically I think enjoying his respite from the demands of public life, and then heading back. Everyone seems to be having fun in this "fairy tale," and I wonder if Elvis ever really got a chance to kick back like this. I'm a "baby" Elvis fan and especially love the oddball stuff connected with him, and this movie fits the bill perfectly. It's just a nice little flick to cuddle up to, preferably with someone and enjoy.
sarah121323 I think HEARTBREAK HOTEL was a great movie. Maybe David Keith doesn't look much like the real Elvis Presley but he is a pretty good Elvis imitator. Ronnie McDowell sang most of the Elvis song. Besides a few which Elvis Presley sang. They have a song by Dobie Gray in it too. David Keith, Tuesday Weld, and Charlie Schlatter work great together. Heartbreak Hotel is about a single mother of 2 named Marie who is very depressed (Tuesday Weld). So her 17 year old son Johnny (Charlie Schlatter) kidnaps Elvis Presley for her. By dressing the locale pizza place owner Rosie as Gladys Presley. Elvis (David Keith) and "Johnny" get off to a bad start. You would to with the guy who just kidnapped you. But at the end they're great friends.
MarioB Cute aging Tuesday Weld is sad. Everything's gone bad in her life. When she was younger, she used to be a big Elvis Presley fan, including his movies. So, to make her happy, Tuesday's son decides to kidnapped Elvis. What a nice present! Of course, Tuesday can't believe her eyes! So is Elvis! But, as the days gone by, everybody's happy. Elvis is doing the lawn, Elvis is warm to Tuesday, Elvis shows the kid how to rock. Gee... Chris Columbus movie's are all nightmares!!! I'm sure he's the Ed Wood of the 1980's and 1990's and that his films will be cult favorites for beer drinking students of 2075.
