| Rating |  | | Date | January 21, 2005 | | Summary | Presley's Most Influential Film In My Life | Content
 | Elvis portrays a doctor who is attracted to a perky nurse played by Mary Tyler Moore. What he doesn't know is that she really is a nun, and unfortunately for him, she is already married to God. |

| "Change of Habit" (1969) will not be remembered as one of Elvis Presley's best efforts, but this socially conscious drama represents an admirable change of pace. In his last fictional film, Elvis gives a believable performance in the improbable role of a ghetto doctor. He actually fares better than Mary Tyler Moore -- hopelessly miscast as a nun. Though ludicrous in spots, "Change of Habit" is easier to sit through than many of Elvis' lame musicals. Unfortunately, Dr. Presley has to sing a few songs, including the dreadful "Have a Happy," which should have been cut. Still, Elvis remains fascinating to watch and the climactic gospel-rock number is a must-see. |

| Indeed. I guess you have to look at this movie in this context. It looks dated, kind of like those really bad TV shows of the late 60s and early 70s. The dialogue is terrible, laughable at some points - "she was raped, even against her will" - give me a break! Elvis looks good, before he blimped out on cheeseburgers and drugs and Mary Tyler Moore is her usual annoying self - its said they didnt get on - not unsurprisingly. The supporting cast is not too bad - good to see Ed Asner in an early role. This is one of Elvis lost films, so to speak, in that if you are not a fan then you would not really know about it. Worth a look. The DVD is good quality as is the VHS. The songs are pretty duff but whats new? It looks like he was trying to get his movie career back on track but was perhaps side tracked by live performances. |

| Why did they put a bumpkin like Elvis Presley in any kind of serious role? The most serious aspect of the film are his sideburns. This film, like most of Presley's films, stink out loud. In fact, it is unintenionally and hillariously funny. Save your money. |

| Hey, these juvenile, formulaic Elvis movies must have reached the nadir on this bomb. While all of his movies were terrible, "Change of Habit" might be the worst of a very bad bunch. |
