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

 |
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. Full Review |

2.5/4 |
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. Full Review |

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. Full Review |

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

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. Full Review |

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