Rating: - GRRRRRRRRRRRRREAT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I am not a big Elvis fan however this is a great movie! A must see for everyone, Elvis fan or not, you will love this movie!
Rating: - "If (it) didn't happen exactly this way, it should have."
Another "made-for-Showtime" original movie that wildly exceeded expectatations (see also my review of the Patrick Stewart vehicle "Safe House"), "Elvis Meets Nixon" details the two days in December of 1970 when Elvis Presley, for reasons known but to himself, left his home in home in Memphis, Tennessee on his own for the first time in his adult life, criss-crossing the country to Washington, DC, then to Los Angeles, CA, and finally back to DC for a meeting with...President Richard Nixon.

Rating: - Fun for Elvis lovers and nonlovers alike.
I just recently saw this movie with a group of friends, some die-hard fans like myself, and others who know very little about Elvis. This movie was great!

Both were so out of touch with everyday life... they were destined to find each other in this truly ironic way.

Rating: - "You can't make this up..."
Of course, most of it is an "artists impression", but based on what everyone knows about these two men with many eccentricities and very strong personalities.

Rating: - The King goes to DC!
I saw this movie on Showtime back in 1998, and have been hoping it will break into the DVD market soon. A brilliant account of true events. It gives you an enjoyable experience of the King of Rock and Roll, as he journeys around Haight-Ashbury and then around DC, ultimately visiting with President Nixon in the hopes of becoming a DEA agent to fight the war on drugs. A great insight into the similarities of two totally different characters, Elvis and Nixon!
