Baseshment I like movies that are aware of what they are selling... without [any] greater aspirations than to make people laugh and that's it.

Portia Hilton Blistering performances.

Ezmae Chang This is a small, humorous movie in some ways, but it has a huge heart. What a nice experience.

Bob This is one of the best movies I’ve seen in a very long time. You have to go and see this on the big screen.

elshikh4 We have 3 movies in one. A black comedy. A romantic comedy. And a love letter to Elvis. While this seems initially promising, the movie falls flat on the face too early, with weak writing that didn't fulfill any of its goals.The black comedy seemed like a real good Final Destination spoof, in the form of a buddy cop movie, with a Loral & Hardy formula. And basically, to tell you the truth, the idea of killing Elvis's impersonators is tempting (out of million reasons, WHY THEY HAVE TO IMPERSONATE HIM WHILE HE WAS FAT, AND WEARING THAT SUPER CAMPY SUIT ???!!!). But that movie didn't complete. Instead, it got absolutely absurd when the 2 cops had to perform an Elvis act on stage, when everybody thought Elvis was alive, and when the movie totally forgets about the killings at the end !As for the romantic comedy; it was lame from the get-go. In fact it has neither romance nor comedy. It's done with obvious poorness, where he loves her because, as he puts it, "I don't why, but I want to see her again." !!, and strangely nothing happens between them during maybe all the second half of the movie !! What gets on your nerves is that nothing difficult was there to be passed between both; he's not married, she's too, age seems no problem (despite how John Corbett looked way younger than Kim Basinger !), so what could be the problem of them to get together since the start ?! And one last note; what was the freaking necessity of (Sean Astin)'s character and scenes ?!!! The line of the actual Elvis in 1957 didn't develop a proper meaning. And I felt that it slowed the pace. Let alone that the guy who played Elvis in those scenes was anything but him !(Denise Richards) is – as usual – bad. (Angie Dickinson), (Wayne Newton) and (Pat Morita) did worthless cameos that added nothing to them or to the movie. So (Tom Hanks) as well, who was nearly unseen (in another word; if during the movie, someone asked you "what time is it?", and you answered, you might miss Hanks in this !). And the computer program which identifies the faces from only the lips was the sole funny joke in the movie, despite being not shown as a joke ! There isn't much to call positive, however the black comedy during the first half, with all the surreal serial killing, was the movie's best. (Mike Starr) with (Phill Lewis) were fine, especially (Lewis) as a cleanness freak. I don't see that (Basinger) is sexy. I don't believe she's a heck of an actress (pardon me, but she didn't deserve that Oscar !). Though, her teary look was effective, however she must have had that script rewritten first to be any better, so she might have played something more solid, touching and memorable (in a good way !). And finally, it's always a delight to see (Denise Richards) getting killed in any movie !The writers of (Elvis Has Left the Building) love Elvis, and hate his impersonators badly. Sorrowfully they didn't make a good movie out of these feelings else that "3 not enjoyable movies packed in one" I watched !

moonspinner55 Darkly comic serendipity about a cosmetics saleswoman, with odd ties to Elvis Presley, running into a sea of Elvis impersonators while speaking at conventions in Nevada...and accidentally killing each one of them through little fault of her own. Kim Basinger, a still-attractive actress of considerable merit, likes to pick quirky movies to play in, but this dreadful screenplay (by Mitchell Ganem and Adam-Michael Garber) hasn't an iota of good humor. The stereotypes and low-ball gags are not meant to be the stuff of classic comedy, but even on a shambling, shameful level, the picture is crude and sloppy. If you do watch, see if you can count how much extraneous shots there are of Basinger behind the wheel of her pink Cadillac, hands always in the same position and a non-plussed look on her face. Hopefully both she and Elvis were well paid. NO STARS from ****

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.

Mark Sweetwood One of the worst films I have ever seen. How to define "worst?" I would prefer having both eye balls yanked out and then be forced to tap dance on them than ever view this pitiful dreck again. Somehow, One-Hit Wonder Zwick manages a film that simultaneously offends Elvis fans, Mary Kay saleswomen, Las Vegas, gays, FBI agents and the rest of humanity with any intelligence with a shoddy, sloppy farce so forced it deserves to be forsaken ed. How Elvis Presley Enterprises could allow the rights of actual Elvis songs to be used in a film with a central premise that seems to be "The only good Elvis Presley Imitator is a dead one" is beyond me. The worst part of this mess - and that takes some work - is the mangled script: In 1958, Elvis' words and songs that he would speak/perform in the 1970's are quoted! Worst special effect? That Oscar would go to the moron who decided that Elvis' grave, potentially the most photographed/recognizable grave in the world, resembles a pyramid with a gold record glued atop and is situated in the middle of a park somewhere. Potentially, this film's biggest audience would be Elvis fans. However, the rampant stupidity (Nixon gave Elvis a DEA badge, not FBI credentials...and I could go on and on) actually undercuts THAT conventional wisdom. Ugh. I used the word "wisdom" to describe this stupid movie. This is truly a horrible, horrible film.
