The production's genially tatty air enhances its anarchical mood and encourages one to go with its goofy yet often shrewd comic flow.

Top CriticCasting Dracula as the Last Romantic, Scott Fitzgerald-style, was a clever idea, but nothing clever remains in the film's hodgepodge of flat one-liners and graceless slapstick.

Top CriticAlthough much of this is pretty funny, the film is a scattershot affair that tries to milk laughs out of the most mundane and tired gags.

Top CriticWhat would happen if Dracula was victimized by life in modern New York City? It's a fun notion and George Hamilton makes it work.

Top CriticIf you haven't smoked any wolfsbane you might wonder why you have such fond memories of this one.

Top CriticSee it when you feel at your silliest.

Top Critic...hopelessly dated...
07/11/05
There are killer lines and exchanges, but not the overall consistency you'd hope for, or the kind of energy that could drive a stake through our ennui.

A coarse, delightful little movie with a bang-up cast and no pretensions at all.

Top Critic[C]lever, funny commentary on a new era of interpersonal relationships when no one knew what they wanted or how to articulate it.

Hamilton is great as the count with a heart, and an endless stream of jokes ensures that at least a good handful are spot on.

Resolutely mainstream; its humor sticks largely to sitcom-level jokes about Jews, sex, drugs, and the Dracula legend.
