OK, dunno how true this is but in a UK magazine "Womans Own" it says that Courteneys film '3k to Graceland' is out here (UK obviously!) in August. I know that some of the reviews in the States haven't been good, but personally I'm looking forward to seeing it to form my own opinion, although it'll probably be out on DVD in the States before it's released here!!!!! Also being a fan of CCA's I like seeing her films anyway.

Well actually Lucy, "3000 Miles to Graceland" is certainly not a bad film, and it does boast a good cast, including Paul Anka, David Arquette, Kevin Costner, Courteney Cox, Jon Lovitz, Kurt Russell, Christian Slater and Ice-T. However, there was criticism about certain aspects of the plot.
Some of it was unfair, for example Las Vegas is only 1600 miles from Memphis, but in fact the title refers to the distance between Jersey City & Seattle. If you want to know why you'll have to watch the movie carefully, which it seems the critics have not done - the same thing afflicts most plot complaints about Friends.
However, there were a few valid difficulties with the plot, which I'll come to after some...

Thomas Murphy (Kevin Costner) is a convicted felon who is pulled over for driving a stolen car while carrying two concealed weapons, which is a serious offense. Idaho is a conservative state, and there is no way the police would have released him so quickly.
On top of that, carrying a silencer is a federal offense, so the state of Idaho had no authority to release him. Instead they are required to hand him over to ATF - which in this case is not alt.tv.friends, but the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco and Firearms.
Jay Peterson (Jon Lovitz) owns an antique store where the front door requires a remote control to release the lock. However, when Michael Zane (Kurt Russell) arrived, he just walked straight in.
How on Earth could Cybil Waingrow (Courteney Cox) still be in the trunk of Zane's car after it was impounded for being reported stolen?
The levels of security in casinos at Las Vegas are amazing. It is just not possible for 5 people to break into the count room, steal the money, and walk out again. If they were lucky they would end up arrested, if not they would end up dead.

They filmed the "Seattle" portions in Vancouver BC. (As they so often do these days thanks to our inept dollar!)
