ComedyDramaMusicalRomance97 min
In 1972, teenager Johnny Wolfe is trying to get a band together at school when a crash sends his Elvis-loving mother to the hospital. Charlie Schlatter’s Johnny lands on a wild plan: kidnap Elvis Presley and bring him to her. David Keith is Elvis, abruptly dropped into Johnny’s hometown as the scheme pulls in friends, family, and the swirl around the King’s celebrity. Tuesday Weld appears as Johnny’s mother, whose devotion to Elvis sets the whole story in motion. The movie mixes teen mischief, rock-and-roll fantasy, and a romantic thread built around one very unusual rescue plan.
