Vamps Reviews

Cute.

Yes, I realize this is not a great movie. And, no, I don't care. It's such good fun that I know I'll be rewatching this. Alicia pretty much plays Clueless as a vampire, but that's maybe not so surprising since Amy Heckerling wrote both. I tend to like her movies. Even Loser!
Krysten Ritter is also good here. She and Alicia were convincing as friends even with the age gap. Plot is a bit thin, but seriously if you take it lightly, this is really quite a fun little movie.

Writer/director Amy Heckerling is best known for her films Fast Times at Ridgemont Hight (1982), Look Who's Talking (1989) and Clueless (1995). She hit the 'Fast Times' in 1982 and it was her first taste of success; but she played the Hollywood game very cautiously and while she did work steadily her hits were few-and-far-between -- although highly memorable. Her latest effort, Vamps, is a "vampires are people too flick" about two twenty-something (wink-wink-ahem) vampires who luckily like the nightlife. Goody (Alicia Silverstone - Clueless, Batman & Robin) is tasked with showing newbie-vampire, Stacy (Krysten Ritter - Confessions of a Shopaholic, 27 Dresses), the ropes as their creator, Cisserus (Sigourney Weaver - Ghostbusters, Copycat), travels the globe and causes as much trouble as she desires -- she'd eat an entire town if she wanted to do so. The dialogue, conversations and characters in Vamps are hilarious, Heckerling fun; but most of the reset of the film looks like a horrible mess. The special effects could have better if they had utilized some 2-dimensional animation! The genuine mirth one has for the characters at the film's beginning is soon replaced by the over-the-top schlock that is less-welcome than a stake.

This movie was directed by Amy Heckerling "Clueless" "Fast Times At Ridgemont High" "Look Who's Talking" among many others. Sure it's not going to win any awards but If you are a fan of Clueless and you like Vampires you should enjoy VAMPS. It's great to see Alicia Silverstone back! And filming 3-4 other movies for 2013! I missed her. Sigourney Weaver is also fun in this movie. The movie may not be a hit with the current generation, but like i said if you loved Clueless back in the day your in for a real treat, Sit back and enjoy this cheesy fun comedy/romance movie giving you deju-vu from 1995 all over again!

So bad you HAVE to watch it to believe it.

This is a crappy Clueless crossed with a crappy teen vamp flick; mildly cute but misfires.

Cute, funny and harmlessly sweet vampire comedy with great cast and witty script. Fun movie.

Not good. At times you think it is about to be witty and funny, but the same jokes are told over and over - and they aren't funny the first time. It's like low budget and sloppy version of Legally Blonde.

Charming-enough vampire sitcom, with cheesy B-grade effects that fit the material and aesthetic choices. No huge laughs, but quite a few chuckles along the way.

Shockingly terrible. It's kind of like a strange low budget TV pilot that lasts forever and has big name actors at every turn. After a couple of half hearted laughs I gave up on it.

Alicia Silverstone non azzecca un film dal primo piano del suo sedere in Batman & Robin.

Although this film was kinda goofy and not very well made, it was still fun and kept me laughing. Especially any scene with Justin Kirk. He needs to do more films.

The film is obviously not a masterpiece, but is far to be bad and unwatchable: taking into account the other films of writer-director Amy Heckerling (Look Who is Talking etc.) it is not expected something worthy of any nomination.

The movie is a light romantic comedy, and unpretentious movie, about two vampires, one older (1840) and other "younger" (1990) who live together and their adventures and romantic conflicts in nowdays New York.

It features an interesting cast with Alicia Silverstone and Krysten Ritter in the lead roles, besides other known actors such as Sigourney Weaver and Malcolm McDowell (Clockwork Orange The - any movie with him to me is worth watching). The performances are of a light-hearted comedy, with a mocking tone.

The film's visual effects are at least basic and do not know whether they were deliberately forced to refer the B horror movies, with hours that they are hilarious...

The story unfolds gradually with a meeting between Krysten and another person who I will not name (spoiler) and this event turns to be the main line of the story until a cute end, typical of those light romantic comedies. The jokes are good and funny, but not hilarious.

Ends up being a good fun to watch with your wife / fiancee / girlfriend, off course, if she likes this genre of movie.

it was bad...really really bad. The only thing this movie was missing was gasoline and a match.

This is truly one of the worst films i have ever seen in my life

sure it's cheesy, but it's still fun.

Heckerling can be so strong, but this film was definitely not at the top of her game.

A throwback to the vampire comedies of the 80's, Vamps has some great moments, but not enough to sustain an entire film, which often feels a little slow and boring.

I found this to be quite amusing in an innocent cute sort of way... Clueless with Fangs.. and a running social commentary. Unless you're colder than the vampires in the film.. I can't see how one could possibly dislike it.
