I had very divisive hopes for ELVIS HAS LEFT THE BUILDING. While I am not a huge fan of Elvis Presley I like some of his songs, last July I saw the biopic with Austin Butler and this has a cast full of big names. On the other hand, it has a bad score of 5,0 and various reviews with 4s and 5s. So, with hunger for my masochist side, I sat and watched and... I didn't hated it but to my surprise, found it funny.
Harmony Jones (Kim Basinger) is a Pink Lady traveling saleswoman of cosmetics that in the beginning is seen driving a long road with the background music of Elvis, and thinks that her life is shallow and empty despite she has success in selling her products. As she is trying to find what she misses from her life, she kills in hilarious ways many Elvis impersonators up to her way to Vegas and pursued by Miles (John Corbett), and probably he's her true love, but for knowing it it's best to see the movie for yourselves.
While this isn't something intelectual or tought-provoking, it's still funny and watchable. Basinger gives another great comedic turn, and she is surrounded by many talented performers: John Corbett as her pursuer, Sean Astin as an agent for a fashion design company, Mike Starr as an FBI agent, Denise Richards as Corbett's former girlfriend, Angie Dickinson as Basinger's mom. And some of the situations were laugh out loud, especially the ones involving Starr.
Don't trust the reviews for this one because, if you want to see a movie for simply don't think too much and have some laughs, this serves the purpose well. After all, not every movie is meant to be a masterpiece.
