ThrillMessage There are better movies of two hours length. I loved the actress'performance.
Sameer Callahan It really made me laugh, but for some moments I was tearing up because I could relate so much.
Calum Hutton It's a good bad... and worth a popcorn matinée. While it's easy to lament what could have been...
Freeman This film is so real. It treats its characters with so much care and sensitivity.
energy8432 this movie was pure comedy! I was flipping channels and just couldn't help myself. I thought it was just a silly movie but was so delighted to find out that the events really took place! The best part is that if the ghetto-DC doughnut shop scene really happened, who knows what else was possible during the weekend! I am going to look to find this on DVD and send it out to all my friends and family for x-mas! I think that the actors were awesome and I had one fine Friday night, me, Dick and E!! If you want a good time that will make you LOL, and I mean seriously LAUGH OUT LOUD so people come in from other rooms and ask you, "WHAT ARE YOU WATCHING??" yeah, it was probably over the top, but it was fun and history is never accurate so I'd rather see this than something that glorifies the King.
retroslim I found this movie late at night on the Bravo station in Canada. As an Elvis fan a thought why not stay up late and watch this movie. I thought it was going to be a crappy movie, but it turned out to be a good movie. I am not sure how real this movie is to the actual events, but it did give a good idea of how Elvis must have been feeling about himself. This movie is worth watching and I would sit through it again. It might just end up in my DVD collection if I can find it on DVD. Do not miss this movie if you are an Elvis or Nixon fan or just interested in a wacky event that took place at a difficult time in American history.
gazzo-2 Boys was this lame. Now, I admit I am an Elvis fan, and kinda like Nixon the foreign policy guy-but also I enjoy the Johnny Bravo-style Elvis sendups and like-minded Tricky Dick satires you see( as in the Nixon-voice as commentator on Imus)-No problem here.But this...this was pretty poor as far as it went. They guy doing Nixon looked more like a bad Ed Sullivan, and the guy doing Elvis-was loads more like DON Johnson's stab at the King from that really bad '81 TV flick DJ did back when. Watching this was like seeing an over-extended Saturday Night Live skit on the meeting, stretched out to 90 minutes or more.Somehow I don't that Elvis was quite That cloddish, and Nixon, had a little more on the ball than THAT. Now, John and Yoko showing up at the white-house from their Bed-in for Peace days-now THAT woulda been funny...** outta ****, LAME.
Andrew David Eskridge Bob Gunton's performance as Richard Nixon is astounding. He gives a humorous characterization of the man, yet shows the sadness of a personality racked with deep-rooted demons. His body twists and turns with emotional pain and paranoia. His performance puts to shame Anthony Hopkins and that turgid "Nixon" movie.Rick Peters is good but not great as Elvis, mainly because he's unable to capture the Elvis magnetism. But Peters is able to capture Elvis' naive, childlike quality: Just an ignorant country boy lost in the world.Although not historically accurate, the satire is based on a real-life meeting between Elvis and Nixon at the White House. The script is first rate and captures the times well. It provides keen insights into Elvis' entourage, father, Priscilla and the chaotic life at Graceland, and Nixon's corrupt White House run by Bob Haldeman. It's perhaps the most entertaining movie about Elvis ever made, and the only one I'd sit through again.
