Live a Little, Love a Little (1968)


IMDb plot summary: Photographer Greg Nolan moonlights in two full-time jobs to pay the rent, but has trouble finding time to do them both without his bosses finding out.
Directed by Norman Taurog. Starring Elvis Presley, Michele Carey, Don Porter, and Rudy Vallee.

This movie feels like an alien tried to write a rom com. I can sometimes get the style they seem to be going for, but it's all run through a filter of having no idea what people act or speak like. Every two minutes I was yelling at this movie, "Wait... What? Why?" and not even because they were making *bad* decisions, but because they were making *incoherent* decisions. So... yeah, this was pretty terrible, and not even a couple fun Elvis numbers could improve it.
