Bubba Ho-tep tells the "true" story of what really did become of Elvis Presley. We find Elvis as an elderly resident in an East Texas rest home, who switched identities with an Elvis impersonator years before his "death," then missed his chance to switch back. He must team up with JFK and fight an ancient Egyptian mummy for the souls of their fellow residents.

Fry up a peanut butter and 'nana sandwich, hop in your Cadillac and take one last ride with the King.

There's plenty of scatological humour and knockabout fun to get one through the slower passages.

fresh:
This absurdly clever caper is elevated by Bruce Campbell's pensive Elvis into a moving meditation on the diminutions of age and the vagaries of fame.

rotten:
Writer-director Don Coscarelli piles on unpleasant details and cynical asides as if they were the stuff of wisdom, though they seem intended to produce guffaws rather than thoughts

rotten:
A mismatched marriage of offbeat character study and unimaginative horror riffs.
