Vamps

Unexpectedly charming

Still not a good movie by any means; more like the curse of having a teen-aged daughter.

The movie does not dwell into "deep lore" or the pathos of the genre, but keeps it light-hearted and comedic. Although it's amusing more than funny.
It's a chick flick, so, not the audience.

The main cast is hit-and-miss.
Silverstone is good, but ironically looks rough for mid-forties. Hollywood ages women.
Ritter is bubbly, and Weaver had been on a downward for some time already by this movie. Her attempts at comedy have always been tepid anyway. Galaxy Quest was Rickman and Allen.

Supporting actors do shine through, though. Mostly by not taking this seriously. Always a pleasure to see Shawn and McDowell (hey, at least they make rent), and Kirk, well, got to love what he did.

Some very discreet representation in the background, but nothing to cry about. Some parts did put a smile on my face.

Could be worse.
