What a waste!

Amy Heckerling nod Alicia Silverstone should have reunited with a bang, not with this. Truly a movie hindered by its own gimmick.

They should have abandoned the silly vampire aspect and just made a straight comedy. The vampire stuff was just awkward. You have a great cast, Alicia Silverstone looks great, and you have a HUGE amount of goodwill due to Clueless.

But no. It all gets wasted in a goofy vampire story, bad special effects included. Silverstone and Ritter had great chemistry, it's a shame this was the movie that was made.

Waste indeed

Yeah, this is garbage and I doubt any other type of comedy would have been better because comedy is dead now.

30 minutes into it and I haven't even cracked a smile. It has the feel of a made for tv movie. I don't understand how they got Sigourney Weaver for this. And Alicia Silverstone is still cute, but she is looking a little aged. Those bags and wrinkles around her eyes make her look 10 years older than she really is, and something looks different with her teeth. Still cute though.

Why? I don't see the connection. Clueless wasn't bland or pointless. Most comedies that are worth watching don't really on gimmicks. Those that do (Date Movie, Epic Movie, all of the Movie Movies really) always end up terrible.

I kind of agree. I thought it was enjoyable for what it was, but I feel like it could've been better, especially with such a great cast.
