you may say to yourself and don johnson a elvis . can that work . be it possible . seem like an terrible choice to me and but perhaps i should have an open mind . maybe i will be surprise . maybe he can pull it off . not . don johnson be not a bad actor . but he be an awful elvis . he too short and too weak voiced and too sharply featured . well you have already imagine how bad he would be . add to that a hokey black wig and heavy hand eye liner and mascara and it a big fat embarrass mess . the best i can say be that since johnson acting be decent and since his impersonation be so far off and after a while you do not even think of him a elvis anymore . you see him a some other crazed pop star instead . then and on that level and the movie become watchable . stephanie zimbalist be also not ideally cast a the tall and beauty queen and linda thompson . but she be attractive in her own right and play the part with the honesty and elegance and intelligence we have come to expect from all her role . there may be too much intelligence in her performance . you have to be kind of a dope to stick with a dope abuse dope . there nothing new to this story while we have hear it many time before . if you have look for new info or insight and you would not find it . it tell a a love story an unrequited one represent linda for elvis and elvis for drug .
