7/10
A funny and entertaining look at a backwoods family.
20 October 1999
Elvis Presley plays the part of Toby Kwimper, whose rag tag family is forced to homestead along the beautiful Florida coast. The patriarch of the brood, played by Arthur O'Connell is hilarious. Anne Helm plays Toby's adopted sister; her love is more than sisterly. Simon Oakland is a mobster that tries to run the family out of their new home place. Joanna Moore tries to get Toby's attention by busting up the happy squatters. Funny situations and five lively tunes help make this one of the most watched Elvis vehicles. The songs "Follow That Dream" and "Angel" are superb. Elvis is very comfortable and natural doing comedy. Every member of the family, young and old, will fall in love with this film.
