Vamps Reviews

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.

Amy Heckerling's sharp satirical wit captures the zeitgeist of youth culture. "Vamps" is warmly nostalgic, harkening back to a simpler time. Alicia Silverstone is essentially Cher (from "Clueless") as a vampire, living a charmed life, but in tune with deeper issues around her. The film has a social conscience, reflecting on the loss of human connection with rapid technological changes and mistreatment of outcasts, but with a vigorous sense of fun and heart. The cast is delightful.

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.

Amy Heckerling is still stuck in the 80s and applies her pop culture knowledge to vampires. Has some okay moments, but its forgettable.

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.

It had a excellent cast, and there were a few good moments, but this film tried to satire vampires, and It really doesn't work out. Also Sigourney Weaver was just terrible in this anytime she was one the screen (with 1 or 2 exceptions) the scene would take a drop and never come back. I was also unhappy with the ending, when I saw the trailer I was thinking maybe this could be a film series... The Life of the Modern Vampire, But sadly not too much went right in this film.

Pretty lame entry for an established director. Heckerlings style has not changed much since Clueless, but what seemed endearing about her films back then just seems dated now.

Can't believe it wasn't made in the 80'ies and actors like Sigourney Weaver really participated in this outdated and predictable movie. So full of cliches and old jokes that it's uncomfortable to watch.

Quite a different pace and plot style than most in the same or indeed any other genres and some genuine laughs to be had, but has a low budget feel at times that lets the whole thing down.

Not very good. Cheesy without being silly enough...just sort of sad. Great cast, well lit, not ridiculously long, but still...not good.

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 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.
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.
