Bubba Ho-Tep (2002)
1/10
Holy crap did that suck.

I wouldn't have bothered to comment, but I came here looking for some sort of rationale as to why on Earth people would have given it a 7.5/10 rating, but then I realized it was because only the folks who loved it would even bother.

Let me first say that I am a big fan of comedy, and an eclectic one at that. I can bust a gut at a Hope/Crosby "Road" movie just as much as I can at Chris Tucker doing Michael Jackson karaoke in Rush Hour 2, and I think The Big Lebowski is close to being my favorite movie of all time.

This movie made me chuckle twice - once when "JFK" translated the bathroom graffiti, and then again when the two of them start down the hallway in their battle duds in the wheelchair and walker.

That was it. Nothing else. Nada. Zip. The dialogue was unimaginative and repetitive.

I kept waiting for the "real plot" to kick in, and it just never did. I had to believe there was more to this movie, but it just wasn't to be. You might have been able to make this into an eccentric 15-20 minute film, but 90 minutes was an abysmal waste of film and (my) time.

Now I must go pulverize my "friend" who convinced me to watch this.
