Certainly not his best film ever, this movie was still great in that it paid a lot of fanservice to the fans of the most epic man in cinema.

I really wanted to like this more than I did. There are some enjoyable moments (the folk song interludes, the constant bean-curd references, Ted Raimi in general), but it's tough to pull off this kind of camp humour when the movie is in on the joke. It's very self-deprecating, but I think this concept would be better served had Campbell not directed it himself. It's too self-aware, and he goes too far to paint himself as a despicable loser. Unfortunately most of the jokes are just plain unfunny.

Decent work by Bruce Campbell, directing the picture and portraying himself. The end is weird but on the whole the film is entertaining for Campbell-Fans.

This movie makes fun of the actor and the cult fans who love him. The jokes are low-brow, the effects aren't very special, and the acting is very cheesy, but when you put this movie into context, it achieved exactly what it set out to do.

Bruce never lets go of his character persona enough to motivate the meta-narrative of this film. The closest we get is when he drinks whiskey out of the dog bowl, which was a great moment and the highlight of this film.

This movie certainly does not take itself seriously. There are some funny parts and scenes but the final third of the movie is weak. Check it out if you are a big Bruce Campbell fan, if you are unfamiliar with him then skip it.

I had very high hopes for this. The premise sounds perfect. Bruce Campbell plays Bruce Campbell and fights a monster. Yet it lacked much of what made Evil Dead 2 and Army of Darkness instant classics. That said get a group of friends, some drinks, and some pizza so you can laugh the night away. A for sure recommend if for nothing more than the song. Wan You, Wan Me, Wan Di, his name is Wan Di.

Terribly disappointing. Bruce Campbell is normally hilarious and fun to watch, and playing himself here he's still enjoyable - but the rest of the movie is a trainwreck. There's barely any jokes worth laughing at, and everything just feels tossed together carelessly. I'd love to see it attempted again. It suffers from the tongue-in-cheek, "we know it's a B movie" attitude, where it tries too hard to be campy and not enough on being entertaining.

"Everyone liked Bubba Ho-Tep." I really have no idea what I'd make of this film if I wasn't already a Bruce Campbell fan. Thankfully, I won't have this problem, and can really enjoy even more Bruce Campbell.

If you're a Bruce Campbell fan this will certainly entertain. It starts off horribly to be honest but once Bruce shows up then it instantly turns itself around and becomes a downright laugh riot. Completely self-aware it manages to lovingly make fun of Bruce, his business associates and his fans. If you don't like Bruce Campbell give this a miss, if you do then this will be right up your alley.

Shot in his own back yard this could have been another The Day The Clown Cried, but instead we get a well toned and well executed independent film. It is a bit insider humor but at the same time Bruce never talks down to his fans and is willing to deconstruct himself for them. Vastly underrated.

Even as someone who is neither a Campbell fan, nor even a horror fan in general, I have to say this wasn't half bad. Silly and predictable, sure, but it never pretended it wasn't and was pretty amusing.

Only works for Campbell fans. Some awkward 'jokes' and poor production values really hurt the (already predictable) film. Sure, it's supposed to be a tongue-in-cheek B-film, but a little more effort would have made it at least memorable.

no one can claim bruce campbell isn't humble, he takes bigger stabs at himself in this movie than any critic could. as for the quality of the movie, i was not disappointed (being a hardcore campbell fan) i laughed heartily at many different occasions and was never bored. and that theme song is hilarious.

Complete crap if you're not a die hard Bruce-fan. However, being a die hard Bruce-fan, I had a helluva time. The final 15 minutes very especially epic: The bean curd-throwing-battle, Bruce vs. Monster = awesomeness.

There's some fun to be had here, but it's too self-aware and tongue-in-cheek for my tastes. Some of the gags are okay, a lot are terrible (Brokeback Mountain reference? Who thought that was a good idea?). Somehow I didn't hate myself for watching it, though. Primarily for hardcore Bruce Campbell fans... which I'm not, but I do enjoy him in general. As a sidenote, the image quality is pretty lousy for Blu-Ray.

A movie for the real fans of Bruce Campbell. The scenes without Bruce did kind of drag, but Bruce was so spot on and he was so hilarious and I had several laugh out loud moments. This is something I would be willing to watch with my friends over and over and over again.

It's parody of the B-movie, so you can imagine how it looks. I liked inside jokes about all these movies, movie production, movie fans, actors and directors. Other than that its completely uninteresting garbage. I kept thinking, that Bruce Campbell should have made this as a fun documentary of some kind.

If you're a Bruce Campbell fan - I mean a REAL BC fan - you will get an absolute kick out of this send-up of his "celebrity", his uber-fans and the film industry in general. Lots of "inside" jokes that non-Bruce fans just won't get.

I wouldn't recommend it to anyone who has not at least seen the Evil Dead series, but Bruce Campbell fans will appreciate this as a pretty good "bad movie" (with frequent references to and spoofs of his past films). Trash, but yet more amusing than Man with the Screaming Brain and *easily* superior to Bubba Ho-Tep.

Slightly better than Bubba, various references to Evil Dead series. Still out of the fun zone most of the time even for a Campbell fan. Best moments of the movie being Evil Dead reacts feels sad. Carrying the flag for an E.D sequel where Raimi and Campbell reunite.

I'm a big Bruce Campbell fan, but this movie is still terrible--embarrassing in fact. Characters' behavior is nonsensical and inconsistent even for a comedy, their version of camp-on-purpose falls flat on its face, and then they throw in pratfalls and fart jokes on top of that other failed comedy. It's got plenty of inside jokes, but it also futzes around with even the most well-known facts of Campbell's life and career. A couple of laughs are there, but they aren't worth it.

Bruce Campbell, has a startling light hearted sense of his own career, and was able to seriously make fun of his own career as a B movie horror star. I bet this movie would have never happened if he were not in the hit tv show "Burn Notice"
