Generally speaking - I have always liked Elvis Presley as both an actor and a singer - And since I had never heard of this 1962 Comedy/Romance/Musical before - I sure thought that I was in for a real treat here.
Well - Let me tell ya - (Now I know) - Just because the "King of Rock & Roll" happens to star in a picture doesn't guarantee that it's gonna be good (as is the case here with "Follow That Dream").
IMO - This total embarrassment was absolute, bottom-of-the-barrel movie-junk from start to finish. It really was.
In this utterly cringe-worthy garbage - Presley (27 at the time) plays Toby Kwimper, an unbelievably naive/ignorant hick from Cranberry County, Alabama. And, as the story goes - He, and his equally dumbass family, are now self-righteously squatting on public land in Florida.
Anyway - All that I have left to say is that I have finally come across an Elvis Presley movie that I completely despise. What more can I say?
