Editorial Review:
Bumbling PI Bubba Mabry (Jay Mohr) will take any assignment to pay the rent, so when JG (Mike Starr) offers him some serious cash to protect a mystery client from an overzealous reporter, Bubba thinks he's got it made...but he gets more than he bargained for when he discovers his client is Elvis, aka "Mr. Aaron" (Robert Patrick) who has faked his death and is planning a comeback. When the case takes a wild twist and the reporter turns up dead with Bubba as the prime suspect, he enlists the help of street-wise Rodent (Katt Williams) for some fast answers. With Detective Romero (Paul Rodriguez), Captain Morgan (Ernie Hudson), the beautiful bombshell Bambi Gamble (Nikki Cox), and a sexy tabloid editor, Felicia Quattlebaum (Lindsay Price), hot on Bubba's tail in this whodunit, a rock-n-roll roller coaster unfolds! Also starring Joe Mantegna.
Special Feature(s): Widescreen; Behind-the-scenes cast interviews; "Making of Elvis"; "When the Rebel Comes Home" music video; Three exclusive songs
Lonely Street Reviews:
Should have been big screen release!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! 
2009-11-13 - Most of your straight to DVD releases are ok or just ok. & you understand them not being released in theaters. But in my opinion as a true American that is not a stuck up paid movie reviewer. Cant believe this didnt make the big screen or even a great ABC,CBS or NBC Special movie presentation before DVD release. This movie is worth every dollar!!! Great actors! Every one of em! They worked great as a team & made this story believable! & best of all the protayal & work put into making the dream of Elvis being here with us came true! I can & you will also see that they all truly put their HEART in to bringing Elvis back respectably. The dvd is also loaded with extras. Which made me happy. you have the movie,the making of the movie,the making of the king. & Three GREAT songs from the movie. "when the rebal comes home' is a GREAT song plus the video of it is great also. I say buy it! & i say thanks to all involved in bringing this movie to us.

2009-09-19 - While the premise for Lonely Street is far-fetched, the actors made it believable. The role of Mr. Aaron (who underwent long makeup sessions) was convincing, possessing all the mannerisms of Elvis. Bubba was as bumbling as expected. An Indie film that went straight to DVD, it certainly would have filled some theaters in some markets if it had gone to the big screen...well, medium screen these days.
Thank you, thank you very much...
Book author Steve Brewer who wrote the book the movie is based on has many books available.
Loved 75 year old Elvis 
2009-09-17 - We saw this movie on the big screen in a theatre in Bartlett (Memphis) Tennessee. We four Elvis fans loved how Robert Patrick portrayed Elvis at 75. The make-up was great, and Robert did a great job of bringing a healthy Elvis to life. The movie was funny, and if you're an Elvis fan, you'll really enjoy how he is represented in this movie.
Lonely Street better than expected
2009-08-31 - Okay, straight to DVD didn't hold much promise, but I couldn't resist the price. The truth is, it's really rather good. I agree with other viewers, the actor playing Elvis was superb. And don't miss the video (under special features) "When the Rebel Comes Home" - worth the price of the DVD alone. Entirely plausible, you could well imagine this is what the King would have looked like if he'd lived and decided to make a comeback - and I'm not even remotely an Elvis fan. P.S. Ignore the review saying Jay Mohr is constantly naked throughout; there is no nudity, male or female.
Fans of "Get Shorty" will love it
2009-07-30 - Very funny, quirky comedy with a terrific cast. The premise is truly unique - that Elvis is alive, he's a health nut, and he needs protection from a tabloid journalist who may be on to him. Robert Patrick shows some terrific comedic chops as Elvis - his makeup is impressive - I actually think this is what he'd look like if he were still alive and practiced yoga. Jay Mohr is funny as the sad-sack rube detective he hires and Joe Mantegna sports a pony tail as a sleazy music producer. It's all very tongue-in-cheek, reminiscent of a Barry Sonnenfeld movie.
