Lonely Street

It's a bit cheesy and predictable like most dumbed down formulaic films of today. I bought it because i'm a huge Elvis fan and the best part of this silly film is the make up department for the film. At times in certain light the plaster mask Robert Patrick wears gives a haunting image of Elvis in hs seventies. It was fun to see "Elvis" (even re created by plaster) on the screen again. Of course there are a few scenes where the stupid director overplays the Elvis persona into a cartoon and Elvis would NEVER have compared himself to Jesus or play golf as he does in this film but if you can get past the idiotic crap and just catch those few moments where it seems Elvis is still alive then it's an okay collection from the bargain bin.My thing is... IF they can recreate someone's face with rubber this real then why not use it on a more well written and meaningful film? I mean suppose this make up could have been used in the film "The Thing about Kings" where Elvis had faked his death and wanted to live a normal life but he also wanted to be with Lisa Marie and possibly re-unite with Priscilla? It would have been haunting and powerful. But that's the way formula crazy stupid Hollywood does things.

Most of your straight to DVD releases are ok or just ok. & you understand them not being released in theaters. But in my opinion as a true American that is not a stuck up paid movie reviewer. Cant believe this didnt make the big screen or even a great ABC,CBS or NBC Special movie presentation before DVD release. This movie is worth every dollar!!! Great actors! Every one of em! They worked great as a team & made this story believable! & best of all the protayal & work put into making the dream of Elvis being here with us came true! I can & you will also see that they all truly put their HEART in to bringing Elvis back respectably. The dvd is also loaded with extras. Which made me happy. you have the movie,the making of the movie,the making of the king. & Three GREAT songs from the movie. "when the rebal comes home' is a GREAT song plus the video of it is great also. I say buy it! & i say thanks to all involved in bringing this movie to us.

Excellent but corny movie.

From the Terminator cop to Elvis, Robert Patrick has now a place in my hall of true actors and Joe Mantegna shows versatility too. The movie keeps you entertained all long. It is a comedy, not a stupid hilarious one but a smart one. A few "F" words makes this movie R rated. The love scenes are nothing worst than those shown on TV or movies like the Twilight series so I didn't have a problem watching it with my 14 year old walking in the room. Why 4 stars? It is not Titanic, Star Wars or Gone With the Wind. This movie is a lot better than hundreds that have been (and I'm sure still will be) released to the big screen.

Very funny, quirky comedy with a terrific cast. The premise is truly unique - that Elvis is alive, he's a health nut, and he needs protection from a tabloid journalist who may be on to him. Robert Patrick shows some terrific comedic chops as Elvis - his makeup is impressive - I actually think this is what he'd look like if he were still alive and practiced yoga. Jay Mohr is funny as the sad-sack rube detective he hires and Joe Mantegna sports a pony tail as a sleazy music producer. It's all very tongue-in-cheek, reminiscent of a Barry Sonnenfeld movie.

Okay, straight to DVD didn't hold much promise, but I couldn't resist the price. The truth is, it's really rather good. I agree with other viewers, the actor playing Elvis was superb. And don't miss the video (under special features) "When the Rebel Comes Home" - worth the price of the DVD alone. Entirely plausible, you could well imagine this is what the King would have looked like if he'd lived and decided to make a comeback - and I'm not even remotely an Elvis fan. P.S. Ignore the review saying Jay Mohr is constantly naked throughout; there is no nudity, male or female.

THE MOVIE WAS A LITLE BORING AT THE BEGINNING TILL THE MAIN CHARACTER, ELVIS BEGAN SHOWING UP IN THE MOVIE. WHEN HE DID, IT WAS AMAZING. THIS MOVIE EVIDENTLY WASN'T MUCH OF A SUCCESS AS I WOULD HAVE HEARD ABOUT IT WHEN IT CAME OUT AND IT WOULD HAVE MADE WAVES IN THE ENTERTAINMENT CIRCLES. IT WAS WORTH BUYING AND I ENJOYED IT.

This film is a fun, tongue-in-cheek bit of a romp. It's corny and silly. It's a cuddle on the couch with your significant other with cold beverages and popcorn kind of movie. Neither ultra-macho, nor chick-flick, nor something to keep you locked in if your attention wanders....I'm hearing impaired, and closed-captions would have helped, but I didn't have any trouble following the plot. If your in the mood for something light and kitschy with Lonely Street at least you won't be wishing you could get your 88 minutes back.

The film is basically about what would happen if Elvis was found to be still alive. Robert Patrick does an amazing job of playing Elvis and the prosthetics are the best I've seen, he actually looks like an older Elvis. Being a fan of the King I can't recommend this enough just to live through the possibility of seeing the king of rock once more.

It was a lady we met outside Graceland who told us about this film, so we decided to see for ourselves. We weren't disappointed. Worth watching if you are an Elvis fan.

I enjoyed this film however you really just have to go with it because some moments really need you to trust the plot. There are some great cameos in the film and a solid cast, although at times i struggled to sympathise with the lead character. but overall, a easy film for a chilled evening. :D

I was sure my dvd player played region 1 ...No it doesnt seem to,so watched it on utube! ..Quality & colour not so good.Will eventually get the dvd out the attic that plays region 1 & enjoy the Movie in all its technicolour Glory

Trailer looks better than the film. Very slow.
