 |  | Review the film for its content and not its aspect ratio! |  |
This film has already been summarized & reviewed - for me, this is a 4* fun Elvis film; gave it a 5* rating to counter-balance the many 1* ratings complaining about the lack of a WS version - this is NOT an evaluation of the film - just irritates me! There is a 'flippy' letterbox version in 2.35:1 aspect ratio but it is not anamorphic (which is my preference - and I agree that the company should have done this movie in that format) - but this is a quite good comedic romp for Elvis & love Arthur as papa! Avoid the negative reviews and give this a watch, please.
September 25, 2008This DVD of Elvis is a must for Elvis fans. Very entertaining and funny with great music.
November 24, 20071 NOV: 2007 GREAT FLICK !!! IT'S OBVIOUS THAT THE CRITICS DID NOT PAY ATTENTION TO THE SERIOUSNESS OF THE COURT ROOM SCENE WHEN ELVIS WAS EXPLAINING ABOUT HIS POP TAKING IN THOSE KIDS THAT WERE ZERO RELATION. JUST SO THEY DID NOT WIND UP WARDS OF THE COURT. HE EXPLAINED THE SITUATION. THEN REMINDS THE JUDGE & COURTROOM THAT THIS WHOLE DEAL IS STRICTLY ABOUT THE WELFARE OF THOSE KIDS. THEN HE SAYS TO THE JUDGE, "JUDGE, IF YOU DON'T KNOW THAT, THEN YOU AIN'T NO JUDGE".(that was 1962, wished the judges of today understood that!!)
THE COMEDY IS SLY, AND GOOD.
ELVIS PLAYS A ROLE LIKE FROM TIME TO TIME HE IS ABOUT HALF DUMB. DUMB AS A FOX. ABOUT LIKE COLUMBO PLAYS.
MUSIC IS GOOD.
November 2, 2007Follow that Dream is Elvis at his best. A comparatively early musical effort before the King settled into his more formulaic series of musicals. The movie has Elvis as an 'aw shucks, maam' good ole' southern boy.On outside appearances - not too bright but underneath a tough core with a country smart take on things. Elvis is excellent and his screen presence shows why his movies were far more profitable than such mainstream musicals as 'Camelot' and 'Paint Your Wagon'. Elvis wandering the woods singing 'I Talk to the Trees' would have been an enjoyable, silly pleasure and not the toe curling embarassment that Clint Eastwood made of it in the latter film. Obviously Eastwood has transcended all expectations since then but in musical adventure films no one can surpass the King. Apart from the opening song there are no outstanding musical numbers but the ensemble cast works well with Arthur O'Connell particularly noticeable as the canny patriach and Anne Helm enticing as the romantic interest (both starred in other Elvis movies also). The story moves along well with a nice twist at the end. Great nostalgic movie for a time that probably never existed but should have.
October 26, 2007This is one of my favorite Elvis movies. It has a good storyline. E;vis does more acting and less singing for the girls. It's just fun to sit down and watch.
