One of Elvis's best
11 March 2002 | by (Ontario, Canada) – See all my reviews

Yet another Elvis movie that shows how underrated his acting abilities are.

Change of Habit has a gripping story, at the heart of which lies a conflict that will speak to anyone who's ever had a conscience.

This is not a preachy movie, however, and it is not depressing, despite the subject matter. Adding humour works. Making this film heavy would cause it to be inaccessible to all but the hard core Big Depressing World Issues Movies fans.
