Elvis & Nixon (2016)
7/10
Funny and fast paced. Crazy and makes you wonder how much is true. I did like this one.

"What kind of man would I be if I didn't offer to help?" The most requested photograph in the National Archives is the handshake picture between Elvis and President Nixon at the White House. This is the story of that meeting. Elvis (Shannon) flies to Washington D.C. in order to meet with the President (Spacey) in hopes of becoming a federal undercover agent for the CIA. This is a crazy movie. There are things in here that are so over the top and absurd that you think they have to be made up. Then again when you think the two characters are Elvis and Nixon you think it could all be true. This is not a movie that will become a classic and one that will be seen for years and years to come. It is also not a movie that history classes will view for accuracy. What this is though is tremendously entertaining and watchable. I laughed quite a bit during this and thought the casting choices were perfect. This is a movie you can just watch and not have to think about. Overall, funny and fast paced. Crazy and makes you wonder how much is true. I did like this one. I give it a B.
