6/10
An easygoing film with a great star in a fabulous location.

I liked it. OK the songs weren't up to much, although I did like the Hawaiian song also showcased to some extent on Donovan's Reef. I can't understand why Elvis' films were criticised so much. His acting was fine and the scenery breath taking, and I don't just mean the location which really does take some beating, especially from where I am, which is in the UK. I was always jealous of his looks and voice, and the film did nothing to diminish either. The plot was also plausible and when you've got lots of friends, as Elvis' characters always have, there's plenty of scope to build plots and sub plots around them. I think people should lighten up before finding fault with his films. He was a singer first and foremost who did a good job in combining his musical talent with acting to present himself as different people in different situations. Not a lot of people can do that!
