Okay, so most Elvis movies aren't great. But they weren't INTENDED to be. They were intended ONLY to entertain, and they do just that. They also took care of that back in the 60's when Elvis was a money maker for the box office. Viva Las Vegas isn't a SPECTACULAR movie, but its definitely full of eye candy; and the pairing of the beautiful Ann-Margret with the beautiful Elvis Presley was perfection. I like A-M, I like Elvis. Neither out-shined the other in this movie, regardless. They were fully complimentary to one another, period. The movie is light, harmless, fun and colorful. No big cinematic deal, but that doesn't mean this one is forgettable. Elvis COULD act, contrary to popular belief. "King Creole" and "Jailhouse Rock" stand as testament to that; but mainly good clean fun was the name of the game. I personally don't always want to sit down and watch something too in depth. I'm well rounded; and it doesn't have to be a super blockbuster to get my attention. Good movie, and I do recommend it.
