Bubba Ho-Tep - A Bad Review of a Great Movie

I finally got the opportunity to see "Bubba Ho-Tep" in the theater and since I've been harping on it for so long it only seemed fair that I review it for you.

I won't go the usual movie critic route and give you a scenopsis since I can't write it much better than the website has already, but I will tell you that this movie is less of a horror/action movie and more of an introspective movie about Elvis. Which isn't a bad thing. Bruce Campbell is brilliant as The King, albeit an older and cruder version. His portrayal is emotional and very effective and it's very easy to forget you're watching someone merely ACTING as Presley. Ossie Davis is also great as "JFK" and his performance is at time very, well, presidential. (Take a look at his room at the rest home, right down to the plush blue carpeting and red phone.)

Overall, I'd give this movie four stars our of five. It's not perfect, but what is! Go see it... it's cooky and fun!
