Movie Reviews of Change of Habit
Movie Review: A little known gem of a movie
Summary: 4 Stars
Personally, I think this is one of Elvis' better movies. He plays a more serious role than in many of his other films and is well cast beside Mary Tyler Moore. The storyline is interesting and more intense than you might expect.
I removed a star from the rating because the film was marketed as lighter fare than it should have been. I don't think that the actors were allowed to create the depth of character that would have taken the film to the next level.
Summary of Change of Habit
A singing doctor falls for a nun at the free clinic he runs in a tough ethnic neighborhood. Studio: Uni Dist Corp. (mca) Release Date: 01/06/2004 Starring: Elvis Presley Barbara Mcnair Run time: 93 minutes Rating: G Director: William A. GrahamElvis tried something different in his final narrative movie. but the results are oddly similar to his usual '60s formula. Here the King plays a doctor working in an inner-city free clinic, playing host to three Catholic nurses (who are really nuns incognito). Elvis gets hung up on one of the nuns, played by Mary Tyler Moore; she seems a lot closer to The Dick Van Dyke Show than the Vatican. The songs are sparse--"Rubberneckin'" gets a workout in one of those awful stilted hootenannies so prevalent in Elvis pictures. The flower-power ambience is more interesting than the story; the film features Mod Squad-style attempts at racial politics, a sit-down protest, and a weird sequence involving "rage reduction" to cure an autistic child. Elvis has good scenes and indifferent ones, but he looks fantastic (this is just after the great "comeback"), and he dresses like no other doctor before or since. --Robert Horton
