FRANKIE AND JOHNNY Film Review
Ok I did like Frankie and Johnny. It was unique and fun, and I liked a lot of the music. Still, though, it was annoying to see Johnny keep on making the same gambling mistakes and with Frankie.
I liked the New Orleans setting and the masquerade was especially fun. But this film was missing a lot of the heart of Elvis’ other films. Still, it was a lot of fun, though, and I’m glad I watched it.
My boyfriend watched it with me and had a lot of funny commentary for the movie. So that made it fun, too.
It was just a silly, light-hearted romp through New Orleans and Elvis was great as usual.
There isn’t really much else to write in this review. Was pretty good but wasn’t my favorite. The whole cast was fun and professional. And there was a lot of alcohol (impairment) in this one. A LOT OF ALCOHOL.
So, if you’re into that, I’m sure you’ll like this one.
I’m finding, even though I liked this one, that a lot of them are becoming same-y and having similar storylines. I still liked this one. It was more unique than others, but it didn’t have the gravitas of King Creole, or was as fun and funny as Jailhouse Rock and Blue Hawaii. And I’m finding Elvis made some better decisions in his acting career with later films like The Trouble with Girls and Change of Habit, although I’m still going through the films, so I can’t speak for all of them.
Eighteenth of 31 films down! I’m almost at 20!
I just hope the next film I watch is better.
