7/10
You'll be pleasantly surprised...
3 November 2016
A non-typical "Elvis Movie" with charming story line, terrific acting by The King, great supporting cast with Arthur O'Connell, Joanna Moore (Tatum O'Neil's mom), Simon Oakland and Roland Winters (who Elvis movie fans will remember as Elvis' father in "Blue Hawaii"). Elvis fans will love his performance, particularly as the family's lawyer in the courtroom scene near the end of the film. Very touching performance.

A very underrated Elvis film. Elvis is a natural in this story of homesteading in Florida - some of the lines are real beauties. Great locations too! This is not your regular Elvis film - he get's good support from the rest of the cast.

The only thing i can fault it with, is that it's a bit slow and talky at the start but apart from that, if you stick with it, you'll be pleasantly surprised.

Conclusion - If you didn't like Elvis before, when this movie is over you can't help but love him afterward.

Rated this 7/10.
