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.

Casting 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.

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.

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

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

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

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

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

Although 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.

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