Wow! Such a good movie.

n my opinion it was a great movie with some interesting elements, even though having some plot holes and the ending probably was just too messy and crammed together, but still fun to watch and not your casual movie that is similar to all other ones.

Your blood may run cold, but you now find yourself pinioned to the story.

It's a good bad... and worth a popcorn matinée. While it's easy to lament what could have been...

a photo. and a fairy tale. and, more important, Kevin Spacey and Michael Shannon making splendid roles. short, an easy film, using too many details, maybe, too slow, and few magnificent scenes. this is all. a kind of docudrama, comedy and trip across the flavor of a time. and nothing more. after its end, the feeling is almost strange. one side - a film for the evening after a long and difficult job day. the other side - impressive performances. so, a film who could be a not uninspired option to see. first, for this so fragile equilibrium.

Good performances, tongue in cheek comedy, worth watching if you haven't yet heard the story.Still not as funny as the 1997 original Elvis Meets Nixon, narrated by Dick Cavett. That was a quicker paced outright 'mockumentary', no big names but excellent acting all the way. Hard to find though.

I watched this at home on DVD from our public library. My wife skipped, her loss because this is a very good and entertaining movie.Today we can read about it in the archives, in December of 1970 Elvis and a couple of his friends went to D.C., gave a letter that Elvis had written, for the White House guards to have delivered to President 'Tricky Dickie' Nixon (who a few years later resigned in a scandal). It seems that Elvis collected badges and he wanted one from the USA's Bureau of Narcotics and Dangerous Drugs. What started out as Nixon requesting that the meeting, during his lunch hour, be limited to 5 minutes he found Elvis so fascinating that they met for much longer. Michael Shannon, superb actor in a variety of roles, is Elvis. As he said in the DVD extra he wasn't trying to do an impression of Elvis, instead he wanted to portray him in a way that was authentic to the character.And one of my personal favorites, Kevin Spacey is Nixon and from the voice and the mannerisms it was almost like seeing the real Richard Nixon.The movie is very interesting and entertaining, much more than I expected going into it. What may seem like a rather dry topic for a movie turns out to be much, much more than that.

On a December morning in 1970, the King of Rock 'n Roll showed up on the lawn of the White House to request a meeting with the most powerful man in the world, President Nixon. Starring Academy Award® nominee Michael Shannon as Elvis Presley and two-time Academy Award® winner Kevin Spacey as Richard Nixon, comes the untold true story behind this revealing, yet humorous moment in the Oval Office forever immortalized in the most requested photograph in the National Archives. The Elvis & Nixon film suffers from a story and a plot that simply doesn't make any sense at all since we don't know if any of those things actually happened plus both Spacey and Shannon look nothing like Nixon or Elvis but if you enjoy any of this kind of movies you might actually enjoy this as well.
