'Vampires Suck' - in some ways...

This movie is funny in very many ways. It is meant to be funny, but I don't think it is funny for parents to bring children who are clearly under 15 years of age to it. 10 year olds should definitely sit this one out - it's humour is not exactly aimed at them. And it can be crude at times. Then again...what the children are exposed to at home, who knows! Maybe they get this kind of stuff these days?

Anyway...on to the actual movie...

It has all the jokes that one expects for a spoof on 'Twilight', but it takes the vampires-hiding-out-in-Forks thing not so seriously. Which is good. It makes the film funnier. The whole population of Sporks knows that there is something strange about the Sullens, and they list what is weird (vampire 'characteristics' as described in 'Twilight')...but they must be 'Canadian' because of it. There are a lot of vampire jokes in the movie and most of them are funny. There is the whole Jacob-and-Bella/Becca-Romance thing happening, as well - but it ends nicely with Jacob running off (after going several ks hanging onto the front of a classy yellow Porsche) after a cat. Jacob has a thing for chasing cats. Becca's Dad, Frank, is also completely oblivious to the fact that anything weird is happening around him - it must be the Kardashians causing all the problems (and who can blame him for thinking that?).

I don't think that I'll really ever need to see this movie again. Yes, it is funny, but it is fairly pathetic in some parts, as well. I liked all the 'Twilight' jokes, and there were tonnes of them, but they missed some lines and things that were in the trailer for the movie that would have made it funnier. I liked the whole Prom King and Queen scenario thing that happened, and the things that kept on being thrown at Becca. But it didn't all add up to a great movie.

One thing I'll admit. They did do a good job at fitting two movies into one, and making the scenes fit together so it had some kind of storyline.

However, they're just going to have to work harder next time in making a spoof movie that is hilarious, not just funny.

Maybe I'm just a tough audience...
