Oh snap! Drag!!
Couldna said it better myself.
Luckily I got a chance to watch it a couple days ago before they all disappeared. I’d forgotten how formulaic Elvis movies are, the last time I saw one was like 20 years ago. It was a lot of fun though. When he sang “Only Fools Rush In” to his girlfriend in the presence of her grandma, it was kind of touching. There were definitely parts that were a product of their era, though.
