Review of Bubba Ho-Tep

Bubba Ho-Tep (2002)
10/10
Hilarious!
24 October 2003
This is one of the funniest, most original, and coolest movies I've ever seen. Granted, I am a Bruce Campbell fan and loved the Evil Dead movies, but it was the concept and screen writing of this movie that made it so good. Bruce(or anyone else) couldn't have gone wrong with the part of old Elvis. The vulgarity of his "little problem", the karate moves, and Elvis' spin on things...BRILLIANT! Ossie Davis complimented Elvis perfectly. He's so matter-of-factly with his outrageous lines that it only makes you laugh harder. Both of these actors are top notch and I would say that Bruce's portrayal of Elvis was by far the greatest of his career(sorry Ash). Despite some reviews I've read elsewhere, I think the director did a fine job taking a short story and stretching it into a full length film. If this movie doesn't get picked up by a major distributor, it'll be a crime. I can't wait for the sequel!
