Vamps (2012)

Very very predictable, including the post credit scene !!!

Purely Joyful Movie!

I wanted to like it more than I actually did... But much of the humor totally escaped me and I walked out only mildly impressed.

It's a feast for the eyes. But what really makes this dramedy work is the acting.

As I begin myself by saying that I have finished watching this movie on 12/22/2015 on Tuesday at around 11:50 pm. As I have not watched more than 5 or 6 vampire related movies so far but Let me tell you that this movie is little bit or quite different than What I have seen before in Vampire related movies. So as the rating suggest 5.1 stars on IMDb.com , according to me this movie deserves more than that so I have given it 8******** stars.This movie has all the elements of comedy, romance and friendship in an adequate proportion to make it work as an entertainment package . This movie is not even a bit boring from any angle.This movie is under rated on IMDb.com according to me.As I have read on the discussion board on IMDb.com about the quality of special effects used in this movie is bad, yes, it is bad according to 2012 level, but if you will follow the time period used in the movie than the special effects get justified .Oh, one more thing follow the different time periods (timelines) given in the movie (at some places) and everything will fit into its place and I'm not going to reveal anything about the movie and just want to add that both the leading actress were really great and amazing in their role. So, just watch it and entertain yourself and I'm sure of one thing that the movie is funny and romantic.This is my third review for a movie on IMDb.com and I'm glad that I wrote my feeling about it.For me its 8********.

I wouldn't call this a scary movie, yes you might get a few jumps of shock but honestly it is not that bad for kids over 10 years old to watch this film. Anyways the movie was more like a slapstick nice comedy then you think. I suppose Amy Heckerling just wanted to keep it nice and sweet since Alison Silverstone and Wallace Shawn were involved with the whole lot. It's surprising that Wallace actually used curse words, part of my childhood ruined. Well duh, it's not that bad, he is still a great icon for my generation, he deserves credit like since I don't see him much in films these days. Alison honestly looks well and to be honest, she will always be that young teenage girl from Clueless in my eyes. She's always the stunning lady.I know Justin Kirk is way older then me but I thought he was pretty darn sexy in this for some reason as his character Vadim. He really should've played as Dracula instead of Malcolm McDowell to be honest. Oh by the way, be prepared for blood if you're watching this film.

Oh where to start. I am busy with watching loads of vampire movies and I have to say that I wouldn't have watched this if it wasn't on the list. But I am glad I did! I don't get all the negative comments, but I actually like quite a lot of movies where this happens. The movie is maybe cheesy on the vampire part, but it is basically just like any other romantic comedy. It is something to watch for fun, with funny dialogs, good acting and enough girlie moments for every teen of grownup on her period. Krysten Ritter is not only a beautiful actress, she fits her role perfectly. And Dan Stevens looks just really hot! All by all nothing deep, some parts of the storyline I didn't really get, but it is fun and heartwarming. It makes you think of your childhood, of all the things that are changing around you, the world, fashion, views...I had to drop a tear at the end!

This film was funny overall. I thought the acting was decent. Both female leads were convincing. Macdowell always does a good job, too. Dr. Van Helsing's character was well-cast.However the ending didn't make much sense. If Ritter's character could get pregnant as a vampire, wouldn't that mean that she could carry the child to term as well without changing back? And then the kid has fangs at the end after she turns back to human! Seems like Goody didn't need to die after all. I mean, how many people would choose to let their friends die for a child that hasn't been born yet? And then Ritter loses her youth as well. I know it's just a fantasy, but there should still be some logic to the plot to make it seem realistic.In sum, I have more respect for Ritter and Silverstone's acting abilities now, despite the faulty plot. Worth renting out at least for a few laughs.
