Perfect cast and a good story
It's simply great fun, a winsome film and an occasionally over-the-top luxury fantasy that never flags.
Blistering performances.
Even though it was meant to be a poorly written movie, I pretty much loved watching it! Kim Basinger looked absolutely beautiful as the pink lady, she actually reminds me of Reece Witherspoon in 'Legally Blonde' with always wearing pink! Herself and John Corbett's character definitely needed to be together, they were just so adorable right from the beginning! I was so surprised to have seen Phill Lewis (Mr Moseby in The Suite Life of Zach and Cody) as the detective! He seriously does have the voice of Elvis haha! I love his humour as usual, he always plays as a funny man! I adore him as an underrated actor! I was then shocked that Tom Hawks was the Elvis impersonator who got killed by being hit by a mailbox. The bloopers was funny with him, he made faces while being stuck in a 'suppose' mailbox. I'm glad they put the bloopers in with this film because, I actually hadn't seen anything bloopers for ages so it was nice to see something different instead of always looking at the same old ending credits the whole time! I really enjoyed the movie,it was stupid and funny at the same time. However since it was all to do with the King himself, it made the movie a lot better for me to have a good time and forget about reality! I recommend any Elvis fan or anyone that needs a laugh to watch this!
A lightweight comedy - amusing rather than laugh-out-loud - this film is carried by the attractiveness of its leads (Kim Basinger at 50 is stunning, and more than a match for John Corbett, eight years her junior).There are a number of good supporting actors - Philip Charles MacKenzie's gay receptionist is a joy - and cameos, notably Tom Hanks. Mike Starr and Phill Lewis's two cops routine is a little too hackneyed for my taste, although their two Elvis impressionists' number is worthwhile.Altogether a very silly movie, but not unenjoyable.
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 ****
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.
