Here's another lampoon movie, taking shots at hugely popular movies. Vampires Suck is the latest spoof, taking direct aim at the Twilight series.
They've been making movies like this for decades of course. Airplane comes to mind as one we all love, and somehow that one has always cut through and been enjoyed by a few generations since. It was pretty funny, and fun. It's an easy pay day, and usually these movies are pretty popular for the moment.
Vampires Suck has it's moments as being really funny. Be mindful, if you have not seen the Twilight series, you'll be in the dark on much of this. But one thing this movies does well is successfully lampoon other people and things outside of Twilight, that are pertinent to young people. And that's pretty funny. Jenn Proske is the star of the show. she is Kristin Stewart (Bella...aka Becca) in this movie. Her job here was not only to be funny, but to imitate Stewart's performances, and she has her down cold. Her performance as the quirky Stewart is really funny, but does get old after a while. Although it does bring to mind how limited Stewart actually is the the real movies.
Disappointing though is this. Many young girls at this movie, and a bunch with their moms, have to sit through a bunch of just really raw and raunchy stuff that's just not funny. Thew out loud laughs came during the moments that really lampooned the movie, and not the raunchy stuff. I was surprised how explicit this was a few times in action and dialogue. But I guess I don't know why. There had to be some awkward moments in the theater between mom and daughter. Inappropriate to say the least, especially for pre-teens.
Vampires Suck. Moments of fun, but overall a complete mess and miss.
