4.0 out of 5 stars
pretty amusing spoof of the Dracula legend (3.5/5), Aug 16 2007
This review is from: Love at First Bite (DVD)
this is a pretty good send up of the Dracula lore. the basic premise is
that Dracula ends up being evicted from his castle in Transylvania and
decides to relocate to New York to be with his true love,even if she
doesn't know it.the most amusing aspect of this movie is George
Hamilton as the count.George Hamilton is a perpetually tanned person
and in the movie,he is also tanned.picture Count Dracula,who is
supposed to be deathly pale,instead with a dark tan.that's a pretty funny
picture.then,we have the count in New York who is like a fish out of
water.there are some some very funny lines in this movie,mainly owing
to the count not being familiar with the language and customs of a
modern city.Susan Saint James plays the love interest Cindy Sondheim
and is quite funny in her role.the character of Renfield is also very
funny,but it is Richard Benjamin as the count's rival for Cindy's
affections and adversary who steals the show with his scenes.the humour
in this movie is not the tears streaming down your face kind.it's more
droll and wry,but it works.the movie moves at good clip and maintains
interest throughout.i especially liked how the actors manage to have a
deadpan delivery for their silly lines.basically,i liked this movie
quite a bit.it's certainly worth 90 minutes to 2 hours of time.i give
"Love at First Bite" a 3.5/5

No Alicia Bridges, Mar 18 2006
This review is from: Love at First Bite (DVD)
I truly enjoyed this movie as originally filmed. I am extremely disappointed at the substitution of another tune for the Alicia Bridges "I like the Night Life". What would possess them to do that. It certainly gives no warning on the cover of the dvd. I believe in all fairness it should. The rest of the movie is, in my opinion, quite funny. I rated it only three stars because of the disappointment in the music substitution. Can someone point me in the direction of an answer as to why this was done?
