3,000 Miles to Graceland (2001)

3/06: 3,000 Miles to Graceland is an aggressive, testosterone-filled violent machine that becomes boring after a while.

The movie works the best when the attention is on Kurt Russell and Kevin Costner. I love the Elvis look on them. Both are scene-stealers and make the film fun, giving it a cult feel. I even like the title, 3,000 Miles to Graceland, because it's so senseless and silly.

However, when the focus is on the others, the entertainment value immediately goes down because the sight of David Arquette, Thomas Haden Church, John Lovitz, Kevin Pollak, and the boy (whatever the hell his name is) has left me with a "what the hell" feeling. At the same time, I wish everybody would take a trip to Elvis Presley's sacred, hollowed ground at the end, so I can laugh at them all. Then again, it'll be too much like This is Spinal Tap.

All in all, 3,000 Miles to Graceland should've been all about Kurt and Kevin.
