I liked this for the same reasons I liked the “Evil Dead” series – it’s completely ridiculous and cheesy and it knows that perfectly well. Let’s be honest – what more do you need than Elvis and JFK in a nursing home fighting off an evil mummy? I would have liked it better if Elvis waxed philosophic a bit less though. Entertaining nonetheless. The old black man who thought he was JFK completely made the movie for me.

“Of course mine WOULD be chocolate now that I’ve been dyed…”

“I’m thinking with sand here!” :)

If you haven’t seen it, add it to your list. Bruce Campbell, Ossie Davis…a couple of lesser-seen actors who are definitely worth watching. I can’t even explain. Elvis and JFK are alive, in a nursing home, fighting off a mummy. Intrigued yet?

It’s time to stop being so serious and just watch. It’s a movie, for goodness sake!

It’s a very unique film! It also has a underlying message about aging, but even taken on the surface it’s just great for a change of pace.

The first surprise was the screen saying it is rated “R”. Huh, isn’t this supposed to be a goofy comedy?
Well, it’s more a gentle-paced story of two seniors who shake off their very diminished existence for one last heroic stand. Bruce Campbell creates a sympathetic portrait of the King (or at least the man who would be). His Elvis is more substantial than about all the Presley movies combined.
