How customer reviews and ratings work

Customer Reviews, including Product Star Ratings help customers to learn more about the product and decide whether it is the right product for them.

To calculate the overall star rating and percentage breakdown by star, we don’t use a simple average. Instead, our system considers things like how recent a review is and if the reviewer bought the item on Amazon. It also analyzed reviews to verify trustworthiness.

2.0 out of 5 stars Not a Comedy!
Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on June 26, 2022

We were very disappointed in this movie! The description labels it a comedy and says it's hilarious. It is not! Though there are a few lighter, cute moments in it, the subject matter overall is very dark, and there is even an attempted rape scene! Can't believe this was rated G!

2.0 out of 5 stars Very Disappointed
Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on June 11, 2013

I ordered this as a used VHS tape. The tape was obviously used to tape NBA basketball games and also television commercials. I am very disappointed that the vendor would pawn off a product that he or she partially taped over. This was not only a used tape but also an abused tape...possibly a copy, difficult to say for sure. My only regret is that I did not report this vendor to Amazon.

2.0 out of 5 stars Dated
Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on March 21, 2017
It shows the confusion of the clergy in the late 60's. How on earth is borrowing a hundred and not paying it back and declaring debts paid moral or helpful? Why not lock up the guy for beating people up? I will say she was the most real of the characters. Too many stereotypes, embarrassing to think that is how people behaved. Used to like the movie, but the more I see it the more it seems a bit off.

HALL OF FAME
2.0 out of 5 stars Cinema's True Odd Couple - Elvis and Mary - in a Most Contrived Social Drama
Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on August 28, 2007
Rarely has there been as odd a coupling in the history of cinema as the one on exhibit here - Elvis Presley and Mary Tyler Moore - two more polar opposite personas could not have shared the screen in 1969 when this movie was released. In what turned out to be his last dramatic role, Presley looks fit as he was then riding the momentum from his legendary  '68 Comeback Special , while Moore - looking very Mary Richards-like, at least in Season One - was floundering in cheap Universal movies (like this one) after her salad days as Laura Petrie on  Dick Van Dyke's classic sitcom  and still a year away from her own  epochal TV series . Yet, Presley obviously felt the seasoned Moore (versus his standard gallery of vacuous starlets) would give him credibility as a more serious actor in a film that dealt with social issues albeit in a most unbelievable manner.

Directed in journeyman TV-movie fashion by William A. Graham, the contrived story concerns three nuns, undercover as nurses in civilian clothing, who are sent on a mission to an inner city neighborhood to help the groovy Dr. John Carpenter, who runs a free clinic there when he's not singing and playing his guitar. Complications ensue as each sister finds it difficult to assimilate themselves into the community no thanks to a belligerent local pastor against their mission from the outset. The giggly Sister Barbara attempts to confront the local grocer to change his price-gouging ways, while the sullen Sister Irene feels conflicted about being a black woman amid the racial inequity of the real world. Sister Michelle, however, has the most palpable dilemma - should she remain faithful to the church or succumb to the charms of the doctor? If any of this could be taken seriously, there might have been a chance toward a grittier examination of social services to the marginalized. In an effort to stay topical, there is a discomfiting rape scene and an oversimplified treatment for autism called Rage Reduction.

But all this effort is secondary since this is Elvis after all, and he has no facility as an actor to play anyone but himself. With his aggressive sideburns and skintight white jeans with matching shoes, he does not slip into any character that would be credibly living in the ghetto. However, he does sing four songs, of which only "Rubberneckin'" is worthy of a second listen. As Sister Michelle, Moore is overly earnest without her trademark irony - the Mary we love only shows up briefly during a touch football scene in the park. Singer Barbara McNair, deglamorized and barely cracking her famous smile, plays Sister Irene, while future soap opera villainess Jane Elliot plays Sister Barbara. Look for Ed Asner playing a progressive cop but sadly no scenes with Moore are offered. The only noteworthy extra on the 2002 DVD is the original theatrical trailer. This is a true curio.

2.0 out of 5 stars The King and Laura Petrie? Don't waste your time!
Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on August 18, 2007
Whoever came up with this lame contrived story and thought it would be good?

Enter Elvis as inner-city free-clinic MD takin' care of business and gettin' All Shook Up over Mary Tyler Moore: coy rent-a-nurse-by-day, secretly a bride of Christ by night.

The sexual tension is palpable. You know their 'romance' is doomed. She wants The King, but she's already Promised to Another.

We're also cruelly tantalized by the lovely Barbara McNair as--you guessed it--Mary's foxy-nun nurse-buddy, Sister Irene. None of the Sisters at MY Catholic school looked as good as these two.

There aren't even any good songs in this Hound Dog of a movie. I don't remember "Rubberneckin'", but I'm sure the Elvis fans do. "Change of Habit", "Have a Happy", "Let Us Pray"----Presley chartbusters one and all.

2.0 out of 5 stars A dull outing for Elvis
Reviewed in the United Kingdom 🇬🇧 on December 15, 2015

I must be in the minority that thinks Elvis movies were colourful fun musical classics. But my favourite movies from Elvis would be the more serious movies, King Creole, Flaming Star, etc. This on the other hand just seems to drag, and Elvis seems more of a co-star. Only bought to complete my Elvis collection, but I'd definitely consider this one of his weaker movies.
