Stakes the vamp craze with great wit. Not clueless, but very clever.
This film has the satire for this vamp generation of movies that Young Frankenstein had for those certain classics. The actresses are great, and the appearances of stars-you-may-remember all make this a very fun movie. Very refreshing! The more you know about vampire mythology, the more you will enjoy the humor (a great Vlad the Impaler). A film that the "clueless" x-generation will enjoy.
A Nutshell Review: Vamps
I can't believe how many negative opinions surround this film. I mean granted, its not Oscar worthy or going to go down in time as one of those incredible films, but the humor, sarcasm and light hearted tone are greatly enjoyable. Perhaps some people cannot vibe with the blunt somewhat twisted humor, but I loved it.
For a movie of this caliber, the story was actually fun and entertaining, despite being as campy and cheesy as it actually is. But what really made the movie work was the list of people credited to the cast; Alicia Silverstone, Krysten Ritter, Sigourney Weaver, Marilu Henner, Richard Lewis, Wallace Shawn and Malcolm McDowell.
Total cult classic in the making!
Sweet, fun, romp of socialite vampires
I normally like the darker vampire movies but this one was so sweet and good-hearted. Two 'young' vampires out on the town,trying to keep up with the current tech trends. When one is suddenly summoned for jury duty, the fear of being found out causes them to go on a quest that will change their lives forever. Great cast, Malcolm McDowell plays a supporting role. His character is fun. Wallace Shaun is wonderful in the role of the father of the love interest. Sigourney Weaver is fun in the master vampire role. The stories that interweave are sweet, and the movie leaves you feeling good. Totally not my normal style but I am glad I gave it a chance. I would recommend it highly.
