not one of Elvis' best movies. The hillbilly theme is not the subject matter on which an Elvis Presley musical should be made. The songs are below par, cardboard sets and flimsy storyline make this a "must skip" movie. If you want to see a real Elvis Presley musical, check out "Jailhouse Rock" or "king Creole" where Elvis does some honest to goodness acting and the songs are decent.

"How distressing that my favorite Elvis movie has been edited by MGM leaving out "I'm Just a Smokey Mountain Boy". It cuts down on the opening sure, but it's a song that sets the atmosphere for the rest of the film. It's a totally bizarre and unnecessary omission from the film. It's somewhat akin to omitting "Over the Rainbow" from 'Wizard of Oz'. The whole film is fun...Tommy Farrell is superb as is his mom in the film. In fact, every actor turns in a great performance. Elvis is totally believable as Josh and as Jody. He never turned a finer performance in a comedy role. The 5 star rating is for the movie...I'd give MGM a '0' for their editing."
A true feel good movie!

"I am a middle aged woman that enjoys movies that are funny but not tasteless. This is a movie I would let any young person watch and not worry about it spoiling their minds. It was quite enjoyable for me.
Thank you"

"Elvis is never a disapointment. I've been looking for this movie for some time it's one of those that once you see you never forget it. Story line is basically this Uncle Sam needs something from some back woods simple folk and the simple folk get the better part of Uncle Sam, this is a must see if you want to break out of the normal Viva Los Vages or Blue
Hawaii mood."
Another great classic Elvis movie
