Synopsis: On a December morning in 1970, the King of Rock 'n Roll (Shannon) showed up on the lawn of the White House to request a meeting with the President of the USA, Nixon (Spacey). The untold true story behind this revealing, yet humorous moment in the Oval Office.
Review: The main interest of the movie is the originality of the plot. As the success of the postcard of Elvis and Nixon shaking the hands in the White House. But the story itself should not present much interest for non-North-Americans.  The roles of Elvis and Nixon are quite expected and flat but the roles of the side kicks, the friend of Elvis, Jerry (Pettyfer), and the secretary of Nixon, Krogh (Hanks), are quite interesting and provides a bit of authenticity and suspense to the movie.
Rating: 4 /10
