Okay - I've seen this movie several times and just wanted to know your opinions/thoughts on it......

I liked the movie but have mixed feelings/emotions about the movie.

Elvis doesn't belong there anymore.
Graceland belongs to everyone but him. IMO. ;)

It was very sad.......

I saw this for the first time about six months ago, and quite enjoyed it. At least it portrayed Elvis in a good light.

And if I'm not mistaken, it was really Graceland used in most of the location shots.

I was thinking of this film today and thinking about watching it again. I really enjoyed it a lot. I seen it for sale in my local shop and just took a chance and bought it. The main reason for this is because I read that part of it was filmed in Graceland.
I thought it was a great film.

My father has the movie and i've seen it a couple of times, although not all the way through. I've seen the beginning, and then the end...... so the whole move.... but not at once. I think i'll buy the movie. Thanks for your input. "Remember the King".

I love the part at the end where Long Black Limousine is played over crowds of fans at Graceland. Very moving.

From www.imdb.com:

Road movie about a man (Jonathan Schaech) in despair over the death of his wife (Gretchen Mol, appearing only in brief flashbacks), who decides to go on a journey from New Mexico to Memphis to see Graceland in his beat-up junker with the driver's door missing. En route, he picks up a hitchhiker (Harvey Keitel) in a pink sports jacket who proclaims himself to be Elvis, who is trying to return home to Graceland. Initially trying to free himself of Elvis, he slowly becomes enamored with the man's capability to have influence over everyone around him including a state trooper who stops the vehicle. Bridget Fonda appears as a Mississippi casino Marilyn Monroe impersonator who helps Schaech out of his funk.
