IMDB

Elvis plays Chad Gates, a man freshly home from the ARMY.  His parents want him to start working at their pineapple farm, but he wants to be his own man.  His girlfriend gets him a job as a tour guide, but things go awry and then they start their own tour guide company.  Plus, you know, he sings a lot of songs.
All right, I'll be honest: I am an Elvis fan.  I like his music and I like the soundtrack to this film a lot.  The movie itself is absurdly goofy.  At times the plot definitely takes a backseat to Elvis singing songs, which I have no real problem with.  It's pretty funny.  This movie is pure cheese.  I had a good time watching it.

7/10

Rating Scale Explanation

The rating scale is simple. 1 is the worst 10 is the best and 5 is mediocre. 5.5 or greater is a movie that I at least find enjoyable. You could also think of 5 as a zero and 1 as a negative 5. I feel like that sounds even more convoluted.
