It was all there. The story, the characters, the stars... This should have been a great film yet it failed on every level. Seinfeld (writer, director and star) has obviously lost his grip on what's humorous and what's not - along with his timing.

There are some funny, obscure jokes in here. But if you blink or haven't lived through the 60s, you'll probably miss them.

This can't compare to other light comedy company bios (real or imagined) like The Founder (2016) and The Hudsucker Proxy (1994).

All this shortly after Seinfeld publicly complained that 'political correctness' was ruining comedy. Sorry Jerry, no amount of ethnic jokes could have saved this dull film.

Must watch with the right attitude. This is a leader in the unintentionally funny category. Move over 'The Room' and 'Plan 9 from Outer Space'. Crack open a bottle, open a bag of chips and MST3K this bomb.

It's obvious that no one involved in this film ever served in the military, ever fired a gun, ever read a book about war or ever saw a war movie. Or, maybe, any movie.

We expected a good war flick given all the 10 star rating bombs in here (the director has a lot of friends) and it wouldn't have been so bad if we hadn't paid for it. But down to 1-star for the blatant dishonesty.

Still, if you need a laugh a minute, check this one out.

So, an Elvis cartoon set during the Vietnam War, when the pop rock star was skinny, with a cast of characters from that time. Pretty funny, I guess, if you're over 50. But, does anyone under 40 even know who Dean Martin was or do you all have to run to Wikipedia every few minutes?

And, really, do older folks actually watch cartoons? Aren't we too busy with Humphrey Bogart black and whites and Dick van Dyke reruns?

(Remember Capri pants? Wooo...) Anyway, Agent Elvis is funny, the animation is stylish and engaging, characters are pretty cool and the plots work. I also enjoy a modern production aimed at my age group where I don't have to ask my kids what everything means.
