Movie Reviews of Follow That Dream
Movie Review: Great deadpan delivery by Elvis!
Summary: 5 Stars
In 1962 Elvis was given a script that would take full advantage of his flare for comedy and "fierce" timing,...the movie was "Follow That Dream,"...and he would never see this oppurtunity again for the rest of his career.Elvis deliver's a flawless "deadpan" comedic performance that is seamless from start to finish that will remind you of a young Andy Griffith.Through the innocent eyes of Toby Kwimper,..we see a different world,..a world not so harsh and positive to the touch.In the courtroom scene that would be the climatic event of the film Elvis deliver's one of the finest speeches I have ever seen on film,...and there is not a dry eye in the house.We see through this performance that Elvis the actor needed only a suitable script and then he would keep up his end of the bargain."Follow That Dream" is a wonderful motion picture that has an endearing cast of great actors who were among the best of their time,...and it shows.This was Elvis's crowning glory,..if that he had one.A finer performance by Elvis you will not find on film,..watch him shine.Movie Review: FOLLOW THAT DREAM

1 NOV: 2007 GREAT FLICK !!! IT'S OBVIOUS THAT THE CRITICS DID NOT PAY ATTENTION TO THE SERIOUSNESS OF THE COURT ROOM SCENE WHEN ELVIS WAS EXPLAINING ABOUT HIS POP TAKING IN THOSE KIDS THAT WERE ZERO RELATION. JUST SO THEY DID NOT WIND UP WARDS OF THE COURT. HE EXPLAINED THE SITUATION. THEN REMINDS THE JUDGE & COURTROOM THAT THIS WHOLE DEAL IS STRICTLY ABOUT THE WELFARE OF THOSE KIDS. THEN HE SAYS TO THE JUDGE, "JUDGE, IF YOU DON'T KNOW THAT, THEN YOU AIN'T NO JUDGE".(that was 1962, wished the judges of today understood that!!)
THE COMEDY IS SLY, AND GOOD.
ELVIS PLAYS A ROLE LIKE FROM TIME TO TIME HE IS ABOUT HALF DUMB. DUMB AS A FOX. ABOUT LIKE COLUMBO PLAYS.
MUSIC IS GOOD.
Movie Review: Review the film for its content and not its aspect ratio!
Summary: 5 Stars
This film has already been summarized & reviewed - for me, this is a 4* fun Elvis film; gave it a 5* rating to counter-balance the many 1* ratings complaining about the lack of a WS version - this is NOT an evaluation of the film - just irritates me! There is a 'flippy' letterbox version in 2.35:1 aspect ratio but it is not anamorphic (which is my preference - and I agree that the company should have done this movie in that format) - but this is a quite good comedic romp for Elvis & love Arthur as papa! Avoid the negative reviews and give this a watch, please.Movie Review: Will leave you wanting more Elvis!
Summary: 5 Stars
Elvis Presley is part of a family who comes to Florida and decide to homestead on an unopened beach. They try opening a fishing business, only to have their efforts challenged by a beautiful social worker who has anything but business on her mind, and two gangsters who are operating an illegal gambling trailer. This is a very funny and entertaining movie sure to please any Elvis fan. Elvis also sings some pretty catchy tunes in this 1962 film. This is one of my favorite Elvis Presley movies and I hope it will become one of yours, too!Movie Review: Happiness is -To Follow that Dream
Summary: 5 Stars
The story of a squatter family is a rollicking success. Arthur O'Connell as the pappy is hilarious. The dialogue is cleaver and Elvis plays the roll of an innocent, not very well educated young beefcake to perfection. The laughter starts as the movie begins to roll and continues throughout. There are not many songs in the movie by Elvis does sing the beautiful "Angel" to a starry eyed Anne Helm. I found that the 97 minutes flew by and the movie had a "feel good" effect on me. The true sign of good entertainment.
