Handsomely-produced but unintentionally rigible

"viewed: March 20, 2013 I don't know, but the movie seemed a little boring and not very exciting. Even though the tragedy of a little girl, somehow I didn't feel her pain. And this song... annoying. I have nothing to Elvis, but the whole film with practically one song in the background is too much"

" Outcry over a rape scene involving an Elvis-loving pre-teen (played by 12-year-old Dakota Fanning) helped sink this drama set in 1950s Alabama."

"Touching film which is a little special which makes this a good movie, together with a good reconstruction of the 50's and great acting."

Handsomely-produced but unintentionally rigible

“"You ain't nothin' but a hound dog, cryin' all the time. You ain't never caught a rabbit, and you ain't no friend of mine."

Deborah Kampmeier's much-hyped Hounddog premiered at the 2007 Sundance Film Festival to a disastrous reception. Following its derailment at the festival, the film was subsequently recut and revised before being given a brief, unsuccessful theatrical release almost two years afterwards. But make no mistake...even the amended version of this humid drama is thoroughly awful. Although writer-director Kampmeier tried to get this project off the ground for a decade, Hounddog - unofficially known as The Dakota Fanning Rape Movie - feels tailor-made to be a vehicle for young Dakota Fanning who clearly desires to transition from kid roles to more dramatic material vi” read more
