Reviews for Heartbreak Hotel
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.
One would like to think that Tuesday Weld was in on the absurdity of this enterprise, but this one treats it all straight, with a solemnity that may have you rolling in the aisles.
Face it. The King has left the building, gone to that Caesars Palace in the sky. Columbus, say goodbye.
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.
