Like the mystery in this movie. I thought I had the bad guy and was surpised when it wasn't. Enjoyed the music in it.

Loved the movie. It's always been one of my favorites. I think Elvis is great in it.

First...and foremost...I'm an Elvis fan, and I mark his 30-year passing with fond memories and deep regret that he couldn't have lived a happier and more fulfilled life.
This is my favorite Elvis movie. I'm a big fan of Julia "Creature From The Black Lagoon" Adams, and the concept of Elvis as a ranch hand on a dude ranch where there are only a couple of other dudes and a whole lot of Elvis-loving women is pretty hard to resist.
That said, I can't think of a single moment in this movie in which "reality" is reflected. Not One.
Even casual Elvis fans know that Col. Tom Parker (NOT a Colonel, NOT a Tom, NOT a Parker...REAL NAME Andreas Cornelis Dries van Kuijk...got FIFTY PERCENT of EVERYTHING Elvis made. From DAY ONE, Elvis was a CASH COW to the Colonel. The movies allowed him to "double dip"...the price of a movie ticket, the price of a soundtrack album...and pay off his gambling debts (the extended engagements at the International Hotel in Vegas during the seventies were also orchestrated by "Colonel Tom" for the same reason).
Like it or not, even though Colonel Tom made bucketfuls of cash for The King, Elvis was a "cash cow" from DAY 1.
Elvis wanted to be an actor, but...as in EVERY OTHER PROFESSION...any move other than a LATERAL move must be earned. A gifted singer is not automatically a gifted actor. A gifted actor is not automatically a gifted singer. And so on...
I guess the dividing line between "Elvis Fan" and "Elvis Fanatic" lies between those who can call him a man who wanted to act and those who consider him a "gifted actor." I fall into the first category.
"Tickle Me" is rife with pre-adolescent tomfoolery and just...plain...BAD...acting. Elvis, Elvis songs, gorgeous women, and ridiculous tripe that makes the worst Frankie Avalon & Annette Funicello movie look like KING---FREAKING---LEAR.
Elvis rips a couple of bluesy numbers...better than the average for an "Elvis Movie"...but if I had to choose between this and the 1968 comeback special, my reaction is ARE YOU KIDDING ME?
Colonel Tom told Elvis to make movies, so he made movies. The purity and carnality and immediacy of the 1968 comeback special was the DIRECT result of Elvis challenging the Colonel...he wanted Elvis to sing "Silent Night" or some such treacle and look into the camera and say "MERRY CHRISTMAS EVERYONE"...and instead we got a black leather Elvis howling "ONE NIGHT WITH YOU..."
And after that he went to Vegas and resumed following "The Colonel's" orders.
You all know that Robert Plant and Jimmy Page offered the services of Led Zeppelin as a backing band to Elvis for a ROCK ALBUM, right? If so, HOW can you watch "Clambake" and "Tickle Me" and "Blue Hawaii" and NOT feel a deep, deep sense of loss?
You all know that Bruce Springsteen got caught trying to jump the gates at Graceland, right? Can you...even for a moment...imagine a rock album from Elvis Presley and the E STREET BAND? CAN YOU???
Click the "review not helpful" button and see if I care. Elvis deserved better. He's been gone for three decades and I mourn his passing.

One of his best ever & I never thought it was going to come. I believe this is Elvis at his most natural & "funniest". If only he had been able to pursue his acting abilities his way, this is a glimpse of what he had to offer. A good light hearted movie for all.

Finally on DVD !!! - I cannot believe that it's taken this long to release this Elvis film ( together with Girl Happy ).
Get's five stars because you get Elvis with his sexiest, most gorgeous ever co-star, plus it's funny, entertaining and has really good songs.
Brings back some great memories from my childhood Saturday matinee days, when I was fascinated with Elvis and he became my hero and idol.
Jocelyn Lane is stunningly, knockout beautiful - she definately made me Girl Happy and want Girls, Girls, Girls.
