Most helpful review Elvis Has Left The Building

  • Strange!

    Rated - 2.0 stars  
    By HowieT from Surrey , 03 Nov 2005

    [Highly rated reviewer]

    A bit of a strange film, to say the least. The plot and characters could certainly have done with a bit of fleshing out and, although there are some genuinely funny scenes, the film isn’t what could be described as hilarious.

    The film takes a firm swipe at all those thousands of incredibly awful Elvis impersonators out there, basically saying that just because you put on a garish, ill-fitting jumpsuit and an over-the-top black pompadour wig, it doesn’t make you look or sound anything like the real Elvis Presley.

    Perhaps the script seemed a good idea on paper, but lost something along the way when transferred to celluloid, which is a real pity.

  • Pointless but mildly amusing

    Rated - 2.0 stars  
    By MamaLu (27 reviews) from East Cowes , 07 Mar 2009
    Make-up sales lady who knew Elvis when she was a little girl travels around the state and seems to witness the bizare deaths of Elvis impersonators. Somehow she doesn't see fit to alert the local authorities and doesn't seem to be traumatised after a few minutes.

    Then she meets the love interest who also seems linked to the mysterious deaths and also shows a lack of remorse.

    There is no obvious plot as such and the romance seems merely thrown in as an expected ingredient. However, in its favour this film has some good acting (even if the script is poor) and the multitude of Elvis impersonators are entertaining.

    If you have seen everything else and have run out of inspiration this film will entertain when it's a choice of DVD or watching Sunday afternoon TV.

  • Elvis probably ran away

    Rated - 1.0 star

    This is pretty poor. The tone just doesn't feel right. It's quite funny when you think about the premise but I think it's Kim Basinger that gets it all wrong. There is definitely something missing. I couldn't engage with her character and didn't really care what happened to her or anyone else. It all felt a bit pointless.

    Save yourselfs and don't bother, complete waste of time, characters very poor, story too slow. Only rented to see John Corbett next time i wont let an actor influence my choice.

    Rated - 1.0 star

    Not really worth watching at all, story line very weak and as much as I love John Corbett even he wasn't worth watching in this movie - very dissappointing to say the least
