Movie Reviews of Change of Habit
Movie Review: Concentrates on his acting more then the Music
Summary: 5 Stars
This film is not all that bad. I thought that it was rather nice to see Elvis as a no BS kind of guy that tells the three Nuns about the outs of working in an inner city doctors office. I Think that Elvis was at his best in this film.It shows Mary Tyler Moore and 2 other ladies as nuns and they try to blend in with the outside world. Just when things start looking up, Mary Tyler Moore winds up in love with Elvis.
This film touches on 2 other subjects.. Rage Tharapy... Working with the little girl... I wonder if there is any truth if that really works. Rape is another touchy subject... I would prescreen this before showing this to younger Elvis fans out there.
Elvis loooked handsome in this one! I could not take my eyes off the screen... He had this look that you could not resist. I thought that this was worth a look... Rent it and see for your own opinion. If you like it... By all means, but it for your collection.
Movie Review: Change of Habit
Summary: 5 Stars
This is my very favorite Elvis Presley movie. You don't have to be a fan of Elvis to love this movie. The chemistry between him and Mary Tyler Moore is great and believable and the story, itself, is a great story of 3 nuns who move into a neighborhood incognito (no one knows their nuns) to make a difference in the lives of the people and the neighborhood. They work for a local doctor played by Elvis (who also does not know they are nuns) and the story revolves around their impact in the neighborhood and the lives of the people around them. It is also a romantic story in the evolving relationship between Mary Tyler Moore's character and Elvis' character. It is a great story and I would recommend it to anyone.Movie Review: Change of Habit Review
Summary: 5 Stars
Actually, I think the movie is as much about Elvis' being a doctor in the ghetto as the spiritual struggle that the nuns have to face, especially once they're out of the habit. I mean, there they were, locked up nice and cozy in the convent and because of the Church's project to service the poor, must remove the habit and "fit in" society. Sister Irene particularly was struggling had finally left the religious life. At the end, Sister Michelle had to decide to get married or stay in the convent and take her final vows.
Since Elvis, in real life, was very religious I'm a bit disappointed he didn't at least explore converting to Catholicism.
Movie Review: Wonderfully entertaining reflection of the times.
Summary: 5 Stars
Change of Habit stands alone as the Elvis film with a social conscience -- and a little rock and roll! It has much to say about religion, racial tensions, morality, individual choice, etc. In a way, it's a time capsule for those of us who were growing up in the turbulent 60's and early 70's. The very idea that Mary Tyler Moore chose to follow her conscience instead of a "groovy" young doctor is amazing in itself. (The later MTM show was the first to feature a single young career woman living on her own.) Of course, that was back when the "glass ceiling" was made out of CEMENT!
Most definitely highly recommended.
Movie Review: This movie should get the credit it deserves!
Summary: 5 Stars
Many people rate this movie based on how it stacks up to other Elvis movies. Well this is not an Elvis movie. This is a really well written, well acted movie which happens to have Elvis in it. I think this movie shows that Elvis could act, but let's not forget that other people were in this movie as well. I find Mary Tyler Moore a perfect match for the role of the love interest/nun in this movie. Even she herself has said that she didn't think she was right for the part, but I disagree.This comedy/drama has all the right substance for a GOOD movie and if you don't get what the movie is about, that just too bad!
