It seems that there are two approaches to producing DVD’s today: go all out with a feature filled special edition that sells for $$$, or produce a movie only edition that sell for cheap. Both segments of the DVD market have loyal clientele, I for one ...read the complete 3000 Miles to Graceland movie review at UpcomingDiscs.com (Jeremy Frost)

It’s a shame the movie is ultimately so worthless, because the acting isn’t half-bad ...read the complete 3000 Miles to Graceland movie review at Matinee Magazine (Jason Clark)

Dustin Putman
The movie opens as five exconvicts set out to rob a Las Vegas casino holding an Elvis Presley convention. Dressed as Presley himself so as to blend in, they manage to escape with $2.3 in cold, hard cash, but not before a bloody massacre that leave many, ...read the complete 3000 Miles to Graceland movie review at Dustin Putman

You enjoy the show, but are embarrassed and feel foolish about it.The same emotions tend to rear up during this outlandish crime caper.3000 Miles to Graceland is, like Elvis, chintzy retro. It is ultraviolent and bloody, but in such a cartoonish manner ...read the complete 3000 Miles to Graceland movie review at Bob Bloom

Scott Mantz:
In the new movie "3000 Miles to Graceland," Kurt Russell and Kevin
Costner play a couple of Elvis impersonators who try to rob a Las
Vegas casino during an Elvis Convention. Considering that The ...read the complete 3000 Miles to Graceland movie review at Scott's Movie Reviews (Scott Mantz)
Ozus' World Movie Reviews (Dennis Schwartz)
This is a poorly directed and scripted derivative casino heist movie, shamelessly stealing jokes, plot situations and shootout scenarios from many other such films including "Ocean's 11," "Honeymoon in Vegas," "The Limey," and "Reindeer Games." All the ...read the complete 3000 Miles to Graceland movie review at Ozus' World Movie Reviews (Dennis Schwartz)
Film Threat, Hollywood's Indie Voice
Franchise Pictures' business plan of producing pet projects that big name stars could not get made anywhere else for one reason or another appears wise. More often than not, though, once these projects are made, that one reason or another why those ...read the complete 3000 Miles to Graceland movie review at Film Threat, Hollywood's Indie Voice
DVD Talk (Adam Tyner)
Even at a "ship 'em up, move 'em out" list price under that magic twenty dollar range, 3,000 Miles To Graceland isn't worth the trip. If you feel compelled to see this movie, rent it. ...read the complete 3000 Miles to Graceland movie review at DVD Talk (Adam Tyner)

Poffy The Cucumber's Movie Mania
Obvious from the outset that this Clambake would be a shameless Hollywood glam-scam, wise men say only fools rush in – and Kurt Russell, the best Elvis of all time (well, uh, besides the real one...) – gets himself into Double Trouble by donning this cap ...read the complete 3000 Miles to Graceland movie review at Poffy The Cucumber's Movie Mania

Kurt Russell. Kevin Costner. Courteney Cox. David Arquette. Christian Slater. Bokeem Woodbine. Howie Long. Kevin Pollak. Jon Lovitz. Thomas Haden Church. Paul Anka. Ice-T.

Daily-Reviews.com (Chuck Dowling)
There was certainly potential here. However, the execution failed. And more importantly, the director failed. 3000 Miles to Graceland could have been a lot of fun, but instead it just turns out to be a silly bore. ...read the complete 3000 Miles to Graceland movie review at Daily-Reviews.com (Chuck Dowling)
Movieman's Guide to the Movies (Brian Oliver)
In my mind, there are different "brands" of movies. You have your excellent, good, ok, pretty bad, and terrible. Within these, you have sub-categories. Let me cut to the chase. In your "terrible" section, you have cheesy, stupid, and just plain dumb. ...read the complete 3000 Miles to Graceland movie review at Movieman's Guide to the Movies (Brian Oliver)
Qwipster's Movie Reviews (Vince Leo)
It will come as no surprise
to learn, for those people unfortunate enough to view 3000 MILES TO
GRACELAND, that its director, Demian Lichtenstein, started off his career in
music videos. In fact, it is largely because he directs this feature length ...read the complete 3000 Miles to Graceland movie review at Qwipster's Movie Reviews (Vince Leo)
filmcritic.com (Christopher Null)
Those of you hoping to hear about a clever casino heist picture in the style of Ocean's Eleven are in for a sore disappointment. From this movie's opening frames, featuring dueling CGI-animated scorpions, it's obvious that we're in for some punk-ass ...read the complete 3000 Miles to Graceland movie review at filmcritic.com (Christopher Null)

That Cow (Andrew Bradford)
So-called "High Concept" films are the rage of the studios these days. If you can't boil down a movie to one sentence, it's much less likely to be made. Fortunately for 3000 Miles to Graceland, whose single sentence description would be "Elvis ...read the complete 3000 Miles to Graceland movie review at That Cow (Andrew Bradford)
Steve Rhodes
Joining Michael for the ride is Courteney Cox, as "Cybil with a 'C'," and her thieving 10yearold son, Jesse (David Kaye), as in Jesse James. Get it? Well enjoy it, since that's about as funny as 3000 MILES TO GRACELAND ever gets.The busy script by ...read the complete 3000 Miles to Graceland movie review at Steve Rhodes
Michael Dequina
However, it must be said that the film is not a complete bore. In fact, once the film's first action sequence hits about 20 minutes in, it looks as if a mildly diverting action thriller is kicking in. Amid the hubbub of Elvis week in Vegas, Russell's ...read the complete 3000 Miles to Graceland movie review at Michael Dequina
Chicago Sun-Times (Roger Ebert)
Here's a movie without an ounce of human kindness, a sour and mean-spirited enterprise so desperate to please, it tries to be a yukky comedy and a hard-boiled action picture at the same ...read the complete 3000 Miles to Graceland movie review at Chicago Sun-Times (Roger Ebert)
