Bubba Ho-tep was an entertaining movie, but it felt too uneven. The movie
went from campy comedy, to campy horror, to serious drama, etc., etc. It had
many great elements: Bruce Campbell's Elvis, Ossie Davis's JFK, good
cinematography, great music, some funny moments, and some touching
moments. But somehow none of these elements were fused together well. 70%
of the movie drags, the tonal shifts are almost schizophrenic, and many of the
jokes fall flat. Despite the negatives, I thought it was a good effort by
Coscarelli and company. Points for originality, but I probably wouldn't see it
again. 6/10
