Fun for Elvis addicts; not so much for the rest of us..., 27 January 2008
4/10
Author: moonspinner55 from redlands, ca

You'd have to be a real Elvis Presley junkie to get through this romp, another travelogue mostly confined to the studio which neither challenges Presley as an artist nor gives him anything fresh or lively to do. Presley sings some good songs--"Bossa Nova Baby"--and some duds--"(There's) No Room To Rhumba In A Sports Car"--while portraying a party-loving, Señorita-ogling crooner and lifeguard who finds romance down Mexico way. Gorgeous Ursula Andress get ogled by E.P. (and the camera!), while the scenery is also attractive (whenever we venture outdoors). However, admirers of Elvis's genuine talents won't find much 'Fun' here. Teri Garr has a small bit (as Teri Hope), and the supporting cast is appropriately chosen. *1/2 from ****
