If a documentary about the pathetic men who define themselves by their ability to feign resemblance to Elvis Presley during his later, and fatter, Las Vegas phase appeals to you, then you know who you are.

But if you are one of the confounded many that waffle at the hordes of costumed men who flock to Elvis competitions — such as the “World Champion Elvis Impersonator!” (of which this film uses as its central plot), then you’re probably reading this for confirmation that the phrase, “35,000 Elvis Impersonators Can’t Be Wrong” is about to be abolished.

With the help of “Almost Elvis,” that moment may be very soon in coming.

Not Rated. 85 mins.
