I'm hard-pressed to remember a film worse than Change of Habit, a movie which
features the following:
- Elvis Presley (in his final movie role) as a singing doctor in a free urban
clinic
- Mary Tyler Moore as a nun and nurse
- A plot which features said nurse and her friends "going undercover" in said
doctor's clinic, and
- The inevitable romance between Elvis and Mary.
This movie is so bad it is unwatchable. The songs are atrocious (you won't
recognize a single one), the acting is pathetic -- even Moore can't save this
project from devolving into utter sap and crap.
A desperate attempt to cash in on the brief and strange resurgence in all
things Elvis, Change of Habit is unfortunately a lowlight in The King's
career. Now, it's also a lowlight in my video library.
Groan.
As in, dropped like a bad one...
Reviewer: Christopher Null
A bit over the top saying that Change of Habit is such a bad film. It isn't. It
was one of the last 4 movies Elvis made that try to change and improve his
image. Though ignored at the time, partly due to
his '68 special and hit singles,it contained elements and situations never
featured in an Elvis film before. Elvis looked good, nicely slimmed down
and did his best with this part. Best known song is 'Rubberneckin', just
recently remixed too. Judging any movie has to be put in it's time perspective
and in this case 1969.If we want to talk
about BAD Elvis movies, think of Harem Scarum, Double Trouble,Easy Come Easy
Go.
I love the movie. I love all Elvis Presley`s movies
