Bubba Ho-Tep

Genre: Comedy
Year of release:
Director: 2002

Quite good at the start then dies slowly. It took two attempts to watch this movie the first time I watched all the good parts and then fell asleep. In all its not a bad movie but meh. If your a Campbell fan you'll probably enjoy it.

Bubba Ho-tep is a story of two men in a nursing home and the journey they take to defeat the soul eating mummy that has been killing their old friends. One Character (Bruce Campbell) thinks that he is Elvis (or maybe he is, you decide) as an old man with a wart on his pecker and the other main character believes he is or is JFK and has been died black to be saved from assassination, JFK is constantly worried he is about to be killed. Bruce Campbell is quite good in it and makes you wonder if he is actually Elvis or just an impersonator, as well as being quite funny. I enjoyed the first half of this film quite a lot but then like most of the newer movies these days, epically American ones, it goes over the top and stops being funny.

I love both JFK and Elvis their characters were building nicely but then this movie got a bit to carried away into trying to kill this mummy rather than on being funny. Elvis and JFK's were quite humerous epically how JFK is black and a little bit crazy/weird. The old cowboy who had completely lost it was bad ass, however was only in a very small part of the movie. I like it how in a way they have left you the audience to decide if JFK and Elvis's characters are actually who they say they are or if they are just a bit crazy.

In conclusion overall this movie is quite good if you can be bothered, it is worth a watch however it is not the greatest movie of all time. If you are a Campbell fan you should like it.
