This '80s teen comedy involves a youth (Robert Leonard), who is seduced by a sexy schoolgirl and then transforms into a blood-sucking vampire. Instead of fighting his affliction, he tries to cope with the change. ~ John Bush, Rovi

pig-blood-flavored, bubble-gum fun
Its friendly nature and intriguing subtexts keep it from being just another slice of nostalgic filler.
My Best Friend is a Vampire is a perfect little snapshot of 1989. It was a great old time while it lasted, but in the end you'll be glad that you've moved on since then.
This isn't the best of the teen vampire movies of the 80s or anything, but personally I loved it, it's fun, exciting, and funny. It's the perfect 80s entertainment, plus it's a vampire movie, so enjoy it.
