This movie was insane. The whole premise was strange and the regular music breaks just added to the weird vibe; making it almost feel like a TV sitcom or lifetime movie.
Despite the weirdness (or maybe even because of it) Shannon and Spacey deliver excellent performances in their respective roles. Shannon's Elvis is hilarious. He really does thrive in such roles, and seems to bring his unique madcap weirdness to every film he stars in. The film also feels very authentically 70s. Every one looked like they were having a bit of fun with this.
All the celebrity gushing was a bit weird and tiresome though, and at times, I thought to myself; "what the hell am I watching?" - but despite this, it kept me engaged throughout and even gave me a few laughs. Perhaps the short running time helped hold my attention, or the sheer insanity of it all - I'm not sure. But it was a fairly light, enjoyable 86 minutes regardless.
