My Best Friend Is a Vampire Audience Reviews

Exoticalot People are voting emotionally.
Sexyloutak Absolutely the worst movie.
Lidia Draper Great example of an old-fashioned, pure-at-heart escapist event movie that doesn't pretend to be anything that it's not and has boat loads of fun being its own ludicrous self.
Kaelan Mccaffrey Like the great film, it's made with a great deal of visible affection both in front of and behind the camera.
Pepper Anne My Best Friend is a Vampire follows a long line of fun films about supernatural occurences disrupting an already awkward period of teenage development just as it did in My Mom's a Werewolf (teenager's mother turns into a werewolf), My Boyfriend's Back (girlfriend's dead boyfriend rises from the grave), and I Was a Teenaged Zombie (teenager's friends turns zombie to fight zombie drug dealer), and the list goes on. This was surprisingly a very entertaining film about a young boy who, upon almost losing his virginity to a strange older woman is a strange old house, is given the bite that turns him into a vampire. Now a professor and his idiot assistant, vampire hunters, want to kill the vampire that is on the loose. The only problem is, they've mistaken his friend as their undead target.The funniest parts of the movie involve a lot of great slapstick humor between Ralph, the vampire's best friend, and the vampire hunters who seem to follow him at every turn, although he can't figure out why. Even more amusing is the vampire teenager learning to cope with being a vampire thanks to the help of an older man, an English vampire mentor. With the help of dark glasses and a large stock of pigs blood, maybe life as a teenaged vampire won't be all that bad. It just makes shaving a little hard when you can't get your reflection in the bathroom mirror. And even more amusing than that is the misconception that the vampire's parents have about him. I would've guessed that they would have thought their little Johnny was on dope, but their mistake is actually much funnier. Plus, you have a pretty good soundtrack to boot with the dominating song being Timbuk 3's "The Future's So Bright."If this is your forte of films, the 80s horror/comedies, you should likely enjoy this one. It doesn't bite!
TJ Neel (Aetherguard) I like the inclusive subtlety in regards to the parents acceptance of the idea that there son is gay. Not to say he is, you will have to see the movie to find out for sure. For the late 80's, their ability to include this element using a positive note for a change is refreshing and unexpected. Thumbs up to Jimmy Huston for a job well done. As well as the writers, too.
mura65 It's a very funny parody of vampire movies. The best things are David Warner as the mad vampire killer and René Auberjonois as Robert Sean Leonard's undead guide. Most of Warner and his assistant Paul Willson's scenes are priceless. Kathy Bates has a little role as Kathy D. Bates. Vote: 7/10.
bananaslug I watched this movie last night on HBO family and thought it was a really good movie. I love campy vampire flicks and ill just add this to the long list of vampire movies that i would watch again and again.(80's flicks are the best ever!!!!!!!!!!!!!)
