Film Threat -
I loved this film; from the opening Ben-Hur nod to the hieroglyph subtitles, it's simultaneously hilarious and poignant, with great performances.

The Hollywood Reporter -
A zinger-filled crowd-pleaser that open-minded Elvis fans (but by no means all) will have fun with.

Newsweek -
A one-of- a-kind horror movie: hilarious, a little scary and strangely poignant. Campbells cranky, valiant, sad-sack King is a soulfully funny creation.

Seattle Post-Intelligencer -
Not a comedy of guffaws and goofy gags, but a wry, underplayed little piece with an undercurrent of loss and abandonment.

ReelViews -
As a satire and an off-the-wall comedy, Bubba Ho-Tep hits the bullseye. As a horror movie, it's less successful. Maybe we're too busy laughing to be scared.
