Not sure what to make of the movie but it is definitely not one of the best movies and not sure if it is even a movie.

I love Bruce Campbell's work; even have the whole Brisco County, Jr. set, but this movie was a big disappointment . . .

Bruce Campbell is in to form playing and aging Elvis living in a nursing home in Texas. Then one day evil lure's it's cowboy hat wearing head in the form of an ancient Egyptian mummy who prowls the hall's of the home at night sucking out the souls of the elderly. Together with his sidekick, an elderly black man who thinks he's JFK they set out to save the home's inhabitants from the clutches of this cowboy hat and cowboy boot wearing mummy. There's pleanty of humor as we hear how Elvis came to be alive and in a nursing home in Texas with an infected bump on his...well...take a guess. Not for the kids but a must for any Campbell fans or for anyone who loves a good Elvis inpersonation.
Love ya' Bruce!

Bruce Campbell is indeed the cult icon of our day--with more acting AND comedic talent than William Shatner, he has managed to create a corner of the cinematic world that might as well be named after him: that of the outrageous, over-the-top genre of horror and sci-fi. And aside from doing a fantastic Elvis (all right, more of an imitation of the Elvis persona than of the man), the premise of the movie alone is worth watching it for.
Sebastian Haff (maybe Elvis...read on) is stuck with a bad hip in an Eastern Texas retirement home. He claims to be THE Elvis, who swapped places with the real Sebastian Haff so he could get out of the limelight and get back to basics, but then Sebastian Haff as Elvis went and killed himself through too much drug use and Elvis ended up being stuck in his Sebastian Haff identity for life (follow that one?). His best friend in the place is Jack (Ossie Davis), who thinks he is JFK who was dyed black to hide his identity and let the world think he was dead. And to top it all off, the rest home is also the dwelling place of a soul-sucking mummy in cowboy duds who also likes to put Egyptian graffiti on bathroom stalls. Turns out, only Elvis and JFK know of his existence and are the only ones who can stop the evil spirit...
The movie takes a little while to get going, but even in its slow start, the story clearly revolves around the redemption of Elvis, so he can get his 'stuff' back. This movie is wacky and absurd and yet somehow tender and leaves you thinking that maybe Elvis wasn't such a bad guy after all...if only he had mummies trying to suck out his soul every moment of his life.
All hail the king...King Campbell.

Easily one of the more interesting actors working today, Bruce Campbell deserves to be in more films. His performance as the aged, "real" Elvis Presley, confined now through a series of goofs to a Texas nursing home, in "Bubba Ho-Tep" is a delightful and perhaps even remarkable testament to his talents. From his grousing about erectile dysfunction to introspection about the failures of his life, Campbell's "King" is enough of a fleshed-out character to make you forget just how silly the plot is. And that pesky bit of business? A soul-stealing mummy is stalking the residents of said nursing home, extracting their life essence in, um, rather disrespectful ways. All that stands between them and nothing is Presley, aided by a man who claims to be JFK (an absolutely delightful Ossie Davis), despite the obvious difference in race. Don't watch "Bubba Ho-Tep" if you're expecting a horror story, though there are a few bumps in the night. Instead, watch it for the great chemistry between Campbell and Davis, as well as some of the decidely foul but funny lines (sometimes a bit too calculated to be the oft-repeated treasures of cult movies). Even with a budget of about $23, it should keep your attention better than many blockbusters today.
