The comedy events of the film' Heartbreak Hotel' focuses on a Johnny, a teenager boy in the school, who decides to create a musical band and satisfy his mother, who considers one of the fans of Elvis Presley; he plans with the members of his band to hijack him and convince him to meet her.
Here it is, the goofiest movie of the year, a movie so bad in so many different and endearing ways that I'm damned if I don't feel genuine affection for it.
It must have looked good on paper, but this film written and directed by Christopher Columbus comes across as silly and insubstantial on the screen.
