Perhaps the most G-rated of Elvis's films, this Florida Keys set comedy with songs is almost sitcom like in nature in its plot regarding a free- spirited family who takes residence along the coastline and become involved in government issues, a social worker determined to take away his adopted siblings, and a criminal element who want him eliminated as the newly chosen sheriff. A plethora of familiar faces pop up in character parts, most notably Arthur O'Connell as the family patriarch.
Beyond the absurd premise, there's some beautiful scenery and a few catchy tunes. The title song was included in the Broadway Jukebox musical All Shook Up and is seemingly sung by Elvis dueted with a radio playback of himself. If you can get past the idiotic dialog and a plot line reminiscent of the Kurt Russell Disney movies, then you might find a few things in it to enjoy.
