Finally watched it and enjoyed the movie. The story is mostly told from the point of view of Elvis' manager played by Tom Hanks.
Not sure if Elvis fans will like the movie though. It seems to have been made for people in my generation, not people who grew up when Elvis was alive (not to say that there are no young Elvis fans. Just that most are probably Baby Boomers or older).

It's impossible to re-create the times that any phenomena happened. I'm too young to remember skinny Elvis and fat Elvis was a grotesque joke. So we do the best we can. Is this in the theaters or internet? Sophia Loren with Pelvis. Attachments:

Thank god for Shuffle Dancing. Like the medieval monks who kept the art of illustrated manuscripts alive Shuffle Dancing keeps the torch lit for Elvis.

I saw it. It was OK. The guy who played Elvis did a good job...but what the hell was Tom Hanks doing in that movie? Fat suit, strange accent...it took me out of the movie every time he showed up.

Is this in the theaters or internet? Sophia Loren with Pelvis. Not sure if it's still in theaters anywhere. It's on HBO TV and their streaming app...

I thought he did an awesome job of playing the villain or antagonist in the story. Not used to seeing nice-guy Tom Hanks play Bad Guy roles...
