It is boiling hot here in Los Angeles today = over 100 degrees fahrenheit! Woah. I guess summer is still here! ;)
A couple of days ago, I watched Vampires Suck, and I have to say that it actually really does suck.
Now, the trailer really makes it seem like an uber-funny movie - I am not a big fan of spoof movies, but I really thought this was gonna be good.
Here's the trailer:
The humor just wasn't really there. I became restless early on in the movie, and I kept on waiting for something to make me laugh. There were many times throughout the movie when I can actually hear crickets in my head because what I was watching just wasn't funny. There were a lot of stupid scenes - but, I know, it's a parody movie so I should have seen that coming.
To be fair, there were quite a few funny details in the movie, especially if you've seen both Twilight and New Moon. I also have to applaud the actors who played Edward, Becca, and Jacob - they were goooood! They got the facial expressions, body movement, and way of talking perfectly!
Scenes that were almost identical to the ones in the two movies made me laugh.
At first glance, they really look like the Cullens, haha!
Ken Jeong - haha, just think about his characters in other movies (The Hangover, Knocked Up...) and you'll start cracking up. His role as Daro isn't his best, but it's okay, he's a really funny person anyway.
Final Verdict: While there were some funny moments, I still think it was a pointless movie (but really, what should I expect, right?!). Not worth the time and money. If I was sitting at home with nothing to do, and it suddenly comes on HBO or something, then it's worth watching. But going to the theaters to see it? Hmm, definitely not the best decision I've made.
Have you seen Vampires Suck? What did you think of it? Are you planning to see it?

I haven't seen this movie yet - but I can tell I would feel the same way you did! Ken Jeong is hilarious - I didn't realize he was in this movie! Great review Mimi! =)
ReplyDeleteAlexa P.-- yup, he's hilarious! thanks!

Thanks for the review. I was thinking of going to see this one, but now I'll just wait.
ReplyDeleteThanks for the review. Im not really into these spoof movies so I dont think I would have gone, but I'll definitely tell my friends who were thinking of going.
ReplyDeleteI haven't seen it but honestly, I really didn't want to. So glad I saved my money and didn't go!! Thanks for the reassurance! ;-)
ReplyDeleteawe...I thought it would be funny too! Thanks for suffering through it and for the warning!
ReplyDeleteMarie Z.-- yeah, i thought so too!
ReplyDeletexWHLo-- no prob! the scary movie franchise was pretty okay for me, haha.

Jen-- you're welcome!
Marie-- haha, you're welcome, i'm glad to do it for you guys. :)
You know, I normally HATE parodies (I feel like they are always just so stupid), but the previews for this one really made me think it looked good... Kind of a bummer to hear it was such a letdown.
ReplyDeleteYeah I love that song too, It's so booring that you think that that movie sucks cause I've wanted too see it for a long time now!=)

Ha, I saw the trailer right before Eclipse (which didn't help me like Eclipse I have to add) and thought it might be worth seeing but I think I'd find it ridiculous too.
ReplyDeleteS.I.F.-- same here! i don't normally like watching parodies, but this one looked promising to me, but yeah it was just a letdown. :(
ReplyDeleteAGNES STYLE-- aw, sorry about that! but please see it if you really want to.
Laura-- oh my gosh, i hated eclipse. good to know i'm not alone on that, haha!
I and Bf watched this last weekend! I could not agree with you more! It really sucks! I even drifted off to sleep while watching it! It's not funny! It's boring! The jokes are so shallow and corny!
ReplyDeleteYeah the trailer is enticing but for spoof movies they often are :(

As I've never seen the "Twilight" films before, something tells me I probably wouldn't enjoy this. :/
ReplyDeletelol. I still can't believe this movie beat out Jennifer Aniston's "The Switch", what a slap in the face for her!
ReplyDeletethanks for the review..I'll just put it on my netflix queue..I am sure it will on DVD soon..lol

i didn't even realize this was out--that's how much i did not want to see this movie. thank you; now it's official. most spoof movies pretty much suck, and i didn't think this was going to be good either. sorry you wasted your money. but that does look like ashley greene in the cafeteria scene, lol.
ReplyDeletespend your money on scott pilgrim instead. oh, rottentomatoes gave vampires suck 4%.

Charrie-- i totally agree with you! my sister fell asleep for like 15 minutes, it's crazy!
ReplyDeleteStylishSinead-- yeah, so true!

shishiwaldorf-- you're very welcome!
Cheryl-- yeah, but oh well, lesson learned, right? haha. thanks for that recommendation!
Haven't see this movie yet but I still love the Twilight Series...LOL
ReplyDeleteI am likely going to watch this based on Ken Jong alone! His facial expressions kill me, as does this video with him in it (not ok for work)

ReplyDeleteJess-- it really did. you're welcome! :D
ReplyDeleteI feel like this is the kind of movie people rent as a joke and drink while they watch it. The trailers made me laugh so hard, disappointing that it wasn't funny. Thanks for stopping by! you have a really pretty blog layout :)
ReplyDeleteI've seen it too. not the best I must say.
ReplyDeleteI do agree, the actors were pretty amazing at playing the characters lol
all I can say is, Matt Lanter is amazing and GORGEOUS!

Candid Phobic-- yup, it's really not that funny. :/
ReplyDeletegigi-- hey! haha, that's funny. but yeah, it's not really good, and there were some stuff in it that may not be appropriate for your son. hope you have a good one too!
I agree. I have watched the movie but it left me kinda sick at the end :/

ReplyDeleteUgh...I never like that spoof movies. They are always dumber than they are funny. Thanks for the review, I figured as much but it totally saves me from watching it. =)
ReplyDeleteStephanie-- haha, no prob!
ReplyDeleteMy name is Alandre, I'm someone who has lived a life seemingly in the background, I must say this final indignity I have suffered almost too much to endure. You see, I have been sickly and weak since the day I was born and doomed to go through all my life a weakling. I seemed to have always suffered from one illness or another and could never play with the other children as I so desperately wanted to. Mother always made such a big fuss over me, also, making the situation worse as the other boys teased me mercilessly after they saw it. I was browsing the internet searching on how i could be transformed into a powerful when i came across the email of a man named Lord Mark. who was a VAMPIRE so I told him that I has always dreamed of becoming a VAMPIRES, All i did was just to follow the procedure that i was been told, and i bet you that procedure I took change my entire life to something i ever desire, freedom, sickness free, pains free, fame, influence, connections and even more that i can. Thanks to Lord Mark. Do you want a life full of interesting things? Do you want to have power and influence over others? To be charming and desirable? To have wealth, health, and longevity? contact the vampires creed today via email: Vampirelord7878@gmail.com
