(1 - 27) of 27 OFCS Rating: 81% Fresh Page   1   "the true horror here, far from being some middle-eastern revenant in a cowboy hat, is the indignity of disease, the anonymity of old age, and the inevitability of death"   Movie Gazette   Anton Bitel C+ "The moment the plot takes hold, this most likable film unmercifully dies."   Ozus' World Movie Reviews   Dennis Schwartz "Whimsicalness, irony, and gentle good humor carry the day."   ReelTalk Movie Reviews   Donald J. Levit B- "It passes the time pleasantly enough, but it's less funny than a comedy and less scary than a monster movie."   EricDSnider.com   Eric D. Snider 4/4 "Bubba Ho-Tep is a wonderful film with a bravura lead performance by Bruce Campbell that doesn't deserve to leave the building until everyone is aware of it."   eFilmCritic.com   Erik Childress 3/4 "One of the most cool and tantalizingly bizarre flicks of 2003, this movie isn't afraid to try anything."   ReelViews   James Berardinelli 2/5 "Bubba Ho-Tep tries ineffectually to be both a lyrical character study and a darkly satirical horror flick."   Los Angeles Alternative   Jay Antani 2.5/4 "Kitschy, lowbrow, and aggressively low-budget; a one-of-a-kind film experience."   Palo Alto Weekly   Jeanne Aufmuth 7/10 "Actually pretty quiet and could be considered seriously pensive if it wasn't for its inherent goofiness."   Window to the Movies   Jeffrey Chen 7/10 "Campbell gives the best Elvis impersonation to ever be seen on film. The movie is campy, but Campbell's performance is not, and that's a very important distinction."   Planet Sick-Boy   Jon Popick 2.5 "There may be some deeper meaning to all this madness about living beyond your prime and regret, but it just barely escapes me how it all fits in"   Bangitout.com   Jordan Hiller 2.5/5 "If you are in the cult of Bruce Campbell, go see it. If not, you may not get what all the hubbub is about. It is Bruce's finest work."   Cinerina   Karina Montgomery 3/4 "A bittersweet meditation on ageing and facing one’s mortality."   Montreal Film Journal   Kevin N. Laforest 3/5 "This low-key oddity stresses character over broad laughs and shock effects, allowing Campbell and Davis to develop a quirky rapport that's a real pleasure to watch."   TV Guide's Movie Guide   Maitland McDonagh 4/10 "There are much more rewarding films to rent."   rec.arts.movies.reviews   Mark R. Leeper "Campbell’s is the most believable Elvis I’ve ever seen on film, and that’s counting the actual Elvis as himself in all those silly movies from the 60s."   Flick Filosopher   MaryAnn Johanson 5/5 "It's simultaneously hilarious and poignant, with great performances."   Film Threat   Pete Vonder Haar 4/5 "About halfway through this offbeat horror comedy you realise you're watching a cult classic."   Shadows on the Wall   Rich Cline 5/5 "Don Coscarelli still doesn't know how to make cookie-cutter genre films. Let's hope he never learns how."   eFilmCritic.com   Rob Gonsalves B "Silly, but it tells us more about courage than many highly-touted movies this year, including 'Cold Mountain' and 'The Last Samurai.'"   Laramie Movie Scope   Robert Roten "Coscarelli goes beyond the traditional cult status, opting for something that is fun and deep. At least there's times where it's like that."   Movie Views   Ryan Cracknell 4.5/5 "It irritates and saddens me that Martin Lawrence's latest vehicle can explode obnoxiously into 2,500 screens while something of Bubba Ho-Tep's clearly evident quality may end up languishing on a shelf somewhere."   eFilmCritic.com   Scott Weinberg B "Cult film icon Campbell made his reputation on enthusiasm and winking self-awareness, but his bedridden Elvis is less a parody than a sad suggestion of a forgotten King."   Seattle Post-Intelligencer   Sean Axmaker 4/4 "Simply too cool."   sbs.is   Stefan Birgir Stefansson 2/4 "A one-joke horror comedy that rarely capitalizes on its wacky premise."   Reel.com   Timothy Knight 3/4 "A short time spent in love with an amiable whimsy."   Film Freak Central   Walter Chaw 3/4 Read review   Big Picture Big Sound   Joe Lozito  (1 - 27) of 27 OFCS Rating: 81% Fresh Page   1
